Sail Care

[nowellchandler]

Has anyone used Sail Care and if so, what were your impressions? Also, what were the original sails made of? I know they can't do Mylar and Kevlar, but I'm pretty sure they weren't making the sails out of those materials in 1968 haha!! I think they are just nylon but not sure.

Thanks!

I think modern cruising sails are made of Dacron which is a type of polyester. I think in europe they use another trade name, terylene?Anyway, if Sail Care is the place near Pittsburgh, then I have heard good reviews about the company.
