Sail material choice

[MUS]

Does anyone know of any internet resources comparing sail cloths that is understandable to the layman?

I wish to replace the main and roller genoa on my 22ft boat, but am becoming increasingly confused by sailmakers' technical jargon. eg Does Dacron=Polyester?

I mainly use the boat for club racing and coastal hops and am looking for the holy grail of sails: fast, durable and cheap.

Any suggestions?
