Dacron Sails or Laminated Sails

Which sails will suits your needs best ? Racing laminated sail, coastal cruising or offshore laminated sails with taffeta coating might be your best choice. Dacron Sails are made of polyester fibers, then woven into cloth panels. Sailmaker can build sails in Cross Cut or Tri-Radial Cut shape. Dacron Sails are strong, but will not hold their proper shape for many years and will become baggy. These sails have large cross cut panels that stretch quickly. Dacron sails are available in many colors, white, cream or tan are the most common. Tri-Radial Cut panels helps to distribute the forces, prolonging sail life and holding the sail shape. Laminated Sails are made by laminating layers together (Black fibers Carbon and Technora, Aramid, Vectran). Fibers are run along the stressed load lines of the sail to evenly distribute the forces. These sails do not stretch. So, dacron sail will only held its shape for few years and then began to stretch, but laminated sail will held its shape for more than 5 years. Cruising laminated sails last longer with a taffeta coating which extend the sail life and helps to protect the sail from chafe and wear. Taffeta gives the sail a white look like regular sails but we can see the fiber bands through the sail. Sometimes laminates sails can delaminate and repair can be attempted. Laminated racing sails offer the greatest weight savings, too.
