Staying Power

Alf Imperato In a perfect world, when you contemplated buying a sail, your first concern would be about performance. Is the sail fast? Does it have good low-end power? Does it have range? How stable is it? And only after all those considerations were met, would you even broach the subject of price. Unfortunately, for most of us, it's not a perfect world and price is of major concern. But don't just look at the number of dollars a sail will set you back: Consider the durability factor. Because, after all, what good is a sail that won't hold up as long as you expect it to?

According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.
Microsoft This season has seen a breakthrough in durability and longevity of materials in a number of sail models currently on the market. The trend has gone from ultra-lightweight and thin monofilm sails to extra reinforcing with materials that will withstand both impact and retard damage from ultra-violet rays.

Laptop Computers Most sailors are familiar with monofilm or Mylar (also sometimes referred to as Dacron or monofilm laminate), a polyester derivative that's actually just a glorified plastic wrap. It's available in several weights, is light and has very low-stretch characteristics. Unfortunately, monofilm is very easy to puncture and tears quickly from the point of initial damage. A crease in a monofilm sail panel, while not immediately detrimental, is the weakest part of the sail and will often tear in time. Monofilm also becomes brittle after prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays. So it's important to take extra care of straight monofilm sails. Don't leave them rigged in the sun for extended periods. When you roll them up, take care not to crush or wrinkle them - a pitfall of strapping sails and gear to a roof rack.

Laptop Computer An alternative to straight monofilm is layered monofilm - sheets of monofilm with strands of reinforcing material between them. Many manufacturers use polyester strands or yarn, Kevlar, or a combination of the two. This material is commonly referred to as X-ply or grid. The lengths of material can run horizontally, vertically or diagonally, depending on where a panel is placed in the sail. In the luff or leading edge of the sail, lengths of reinforcement normally run vertically or in a criss-cross pattern. The main body, leech and foot of the sail generally use a criss-cross or X-patterned reinforcement.

Desktop Computer Layered monofilm is much stronger, of course, than straight monofilm. And, because you're dealing with two layers of film sandwiching glue and reinforcing fibers in the middle, small punctures or tears usually stop at the next grid fiber instead of continuing to tear for the entire length of the panel. (In fact, similar grid materials used to be called rip-stop for just that reason.) It's also more difficult to crease X-ply panels because they have a softer hand. The extra material goes a longer way under load. In the early versions of layered monofilms, delamination was sometimes a concern. But with the new technologies, that's no longer an issue.
Notebooks X-ply is also more resistant to UV rays because the glue and reinforcing materials don't allow UV ray penetration the way straight monofilm does. Sometimes manufacturers add pigment to the glue, increasing the sail's U.V. resilience even more. Although the sun still can damage the exposed layers of a laminate sail, the internal strength of layered construction usually keeps the sail intact a lot longer than the straight monofilm versions.
Lenovo Another material to take a look at is Kevlar Technora - layered monofilm with strands of Kevlar and Technora. (Technora is an expensive and very strong reinforcement material). Some manufacturers use these materials along with polyester strands. Technora is probably one of the most durable and ultraviolet-resistant materials used that still has all the other characteristics we look for in a sail (lightness and low stretch). Although it doesn't allow for great visibility, when used in the proper areas of a sail, it's hard to beat.
Hard Drive Dacron and Mylar material (Dacron polyester with a monofilm laminate) are still used in certain areas in or around the body of a sail. Dacron is light in weight, but stretches dramatically when compared to monofilm. Mylar stretches less than straight Dacron but more than monofilm. These two materials are also less likely than straight monofilm to crease when folded or crushed.

Gateway Mast Sleeves
Laptop Parts Materials used in the construction of mast sleeves are as important as any other part of a sail. Different materials can allow for either high or low stretch, high or low resistance to abrasion, or some materials can tend to retain water, while others shed it. In the end, however, a mast sleeve should form fit to most any mast on today's market and remain wrinkle free.
Software Dacron mast sleeves (filament-based polyester) are very low stretch and shed water brilliantly. They're light in weight and keep the leading edge very rigid. The two downfalls with Dacron mast sleeves, however, are that they can tend to show wrinkles when rigged unless they're sewn flawlessly and they're more susceptible to abrasion than some other materials. The other luff sleeve material is a type of woven-base polyester that's much more durable than Dacron. However, it retains more water and is heavier. It also has a softer, more forgiving feel when sailing. A large majority of sails on the market use this material because of its durability.

Canon Durability vs. Visibility
Desktop Pc The type of sailing you do will dictate the sail-window characteristics that are most important to you. Wave sails are generally built with a degree of durability in mind for obvious reasons and with great visibility for sailing in down-the-line conditions. Recreational sails should be both durable and easy to see through because recreational-level sailors tend to fall with their knees or harness hook smack in the middle of the window, and they need to see where they're going. Visibility is important in a race sail for navigating your way through crowds, while the durability factor is of a lesser concern. The three materials generally used in the window area of sails are monofilm, grid or X-ply, and vinyl. All three are great materials, but have different durability characteristics.
Desktop Computers Race and slalom sails usually use straight monofilm windows because it's light and easy to see through. But you don't want to put your knees or harness hook through a straight monofilm window because it's sure to stretch, puncture or tear.
Think Pad X-ply windows are more durable than straight monofilm windows. If you do puncture the window, the reinforcing material between the two layers should stop the tear from spreading across the entire window. Visibility is excellent until the monofilm gets scratched and becomes cloudy (it just happens as a sail matures). If you take care of your sail and avoid diving through the window, it should last for a long time - maybe even the life of the sail.
