If the sail is a 150 go with 5 oz.  If it's a 130 go with 6.3 oz.  The 130
should be good to 20 apparent and furled to 110 if you need to.  Go with
Dacron white UV strip, you won't notice it's there and it will last for
about 6 years, that's$50 a year because a replacement strip would be about
$300.  The sunbrella strips are good but heavier.  They may last longer.I
prefer a white strip, it is only on one side of your sail.white ones are
mostly unnoticeable

Thanks for all the great feedback everyone. Rolly Tasker has given me the
best price by a wide margin. A new Genny shipped to me for $1500, their
'coastal cruising' line.

 

Question to you all, 5 oz or 6.3 oz dacron?

Dacron UV strip or Sunbrella?

 

I am leaning towards the 6.3 oz and the sunbrella but maybe that's not a
good idea here on Lake Ontario where the summer is mostly light. I just want
a sail that will last, these are cruising sails. I'm afraid with the heavier
material it'll be harder to fill in light air. How much more resilient is
the sunbrella over the dacron for the UV strip and how much of a difference
is there really between the 5 oz and 6.3 oz in terms of weight and light air
performance? They actually quoted me 5 oz and dacron UV at first, maybe they
know what they're talking about.

 

Thanks,

Steve

Mike Tasker from Rolly Tasker just got back to me on a quote for a new
genny:

 

135% Roller Furling Genoa Offshore         US$

7 oz US Dacron Crosscut                         820.00

Max Luff TBA?:  LP 21.94m2

UV Sunbrella on leech and foot                 266.00

Luff Foam                                                192.00

 

1 sail UPS door to door delivery                126.00

 

$1400 for a new 135%?  What's not to love?  Am I missing something here?

Check Rolly Tasker if you are looking for a sail made offshore. Radial
sails have smaller panels. In theory they last longer. Let them flog
and they all turn to crap.
