I hope you are not calling my underwater lights or i will put a colony of moths in your sails and turn it into lace.

If you are breeding them on your plastique fantastique, do take care as sails are made from polyester, just like GRP resin. You are liable to end up with even more unsightly & dangerous holes in your hull if you are breeding the famous polyestermites.

Did you really think that sails were still made of Cotton or canvas?

It's some 60-70 years since man made fibres took over from rotten cotton & all the best loony racers use clear Mylar film & similar now. You are out of touch aren't you?

The thing is Searush, not all of us have the benefit of having been around 70-100 years ago to remember things like cotton sails first hand.

jus musing on the minor irony of a man in a plastic boat with plastic sails labelling motorboats as plastique fantastique.
