| 10oz Dacron Gaff Sails Thread Weight?
Does anyone know about thread weight and the maximum used for strong cruising sails? We are ordering 3 working sails which we hope will withstand Cape Horn. Our sailmaker has informed us that he uses '138 Hemmingway and Bartlett premium Dacron thread ' but we are wondering if a heavier thread will give us a stronger sail. What would be the maximum weight of thread possible on a low aspect gaff mainsail? Any ideas would be much appreciated. Cheers.
