Hi,
I am looking at new sails. Performance Cruiser would be the best description of what I am after. We do no race, but would like something with some go. Longevity is a thing as I would like them to last... We do mostly coastal cruising or loitering around the Solent. Sail stays in a stackpack or rolled on the furler. Ie not ideal storage (ie often damp). Sails are on six months of the year when on the mooring (off when in the car park!).
This is for a Starlight 35; Large roach main, 135% Genoa.
I am steering away from Laminates unless someone can convince me otherwise.
Have narrowed it down to;
Thanks

Have narrowed it down to;
- Contender Pro Hybrid (PH8.65). Dyneema in the weft and warp.
- Dimension Polyant Hydranet radial (HNR343). Dyneema t in the warp.
Thanks
