I was walking around a fabric store last weekend with my wife and I found some material called 100% polyester outdoor canvas. It came in many colors and brilliant white as well as a nice off white which I rather liked. I was just wondering if it would make a proper sail or if it might be too heavy. It looked like it wouldn't bag out; pretty sturdy. Has anyone considered using this stuff? :?

Sounds like to me that this fabric is the type that awnings are made of, but can't say for sure. Suggestion ask a sailmaker, called Todd Bradshaw, from "that other site" :wink:

He is usually very gracious and polite to most folks.
