We're a Catalina 36 standard rig
Sorry, the boat type dropped on my post. Our jib is free of dmage but it is old. We're replacing the old cruising designs furler and the sail so they can both go for a song.

Vectran for sailcloth
Vectran is an excellent choice for high modulus low stretch fabric. It also has high UV resistance and low moisture absorption qualities. It takes bends and folding well and with the addition of a good polyurethane can take abrasion well.
