[C320-list] Radial Dacron Sails

[Chuck and Kathy Mueller]

I just ordered a 150% jib from North Sails in their Series 200 Radian 
design.  They were having a 20% off promotion, and the cost of the radian 
model was only about $500 more than a crosscut sail.  I expect to receive it 
before the end of the season, and I'll report back.

Sounds like a great idea . This new Dacron, does it let you fold the sails 
(storage)  like regular Dacron or do you still have to roll it like 
laminated sail.
Who is using the material UK, North,etc? JOHN

Has anyone purchased new radial built sails using the new warp drive dacron.

does not stretch so it can be used in radial construction, & is less

than a laminate sail.
