Which sailcloth for coastal cruising
Hi, I am replacing the mainsail and furling headsail on my bavaria 36 which is mostly used for coastal sailing.

I have received a few quotes from sailmakers in Sydney and would like to get some advice to select the best sailcloth offered.

The quotes I received from sailmakers suggest different sailcloth:
1- Contender 8.46 premium Fibercon
2- Challenge 7.62 Marblehead
3- NPC Cross-Cut Nordac

I would like to hear from anyone who has any experience with these sailcloths.
Thanks
