Sailcloth

Frank van Zoest emailed to suggest 4.52 High Aspect White instead of 5.4 Supercruise Alt Air. This cloth is made by Contender Sailcloth. It is used for genoas and high aspect sails where shape-holding is a necessity. Hence the name. The main advantage is better shape-holding characteristics after a few seasons. Another advantage for me is less weight hanging off the mast top. The only disadvantage of white sailcloth is more reflection from the sun. This means you need to sail with sun glasses all the time.
