I suspect the carbon-fibre sails used on some AC boats are actually the most expensive, especially since they don't last long. But for mere mortals racing yachts, kevlar is very low-stretch, reasonably long living (as racing sails) and yes, probably the best. Probably over-the-top for dinghy classes though (assuming class rules allowed them). |

Having just bought a new Technora Main from Hydes I have to say I'm very very happy with it.

Sorry Guys, Did not make my question very clear. I was wondering what anyone thought of Kevlar sails? I understand they are probably the most expensive but does this make them the best? MINESAPINT.
