Dave R1 Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 I'm wracking my brain (what little there is of it) trying to recall the name of the plastic material Paul used to use to make sails for the Weekender, et al. I've got a set of those sails but can't remember what they're made of. Anyone? Quote
Bill Paxton Posted March 23, 2005 Posted March 23, 2005 I Googled "Ulta Sail" and found it is still referenced on a number of websites. Here's how one of them described the sail material: Cross laminated polyethylene film. Quote
Dave R1 Posted March 23, 2005 Author Posted March 23, 2005 Cool! Thanks, Bill. I'm itching to get Julie K out. Are you feeling that way, too? Quote
Bill Paxton Posted March 23, 2005 Posted March 23, 2005 Oh, man, I can't wait to get out on the water!!! The ice-out date for Lake Minnetonka is traditionally April 15. Last year we got on the water before April ended. I sure hope we can this year, too. Quote
Barry Pyeatt Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 The Cross linked laminated polyethelene material was what Ulta-Sail offered in his early kits and sails that he offered. I have a set of those sails and they are basically heavy white poly tarp material. Heavier than the 6 oz. material commonly available from the PolySail kits or the Tarps Direct site. The later sails that he was making were dacron. Quote
