Before any яхтсменом, gathering to order a new sail for the yacht, there is a question of a choice of a material for its manufacture. Materials the great variety today is produced, they can differ strongly from each other appearance, a construction, type of fibers, assignment, well and the price, certainly. To understand them to the person who does not have among the hobbies chemistry, сопромат and manufacture of sailing fabrics, in particular, it is frankly boring and it is uninteresting. But at purchase of any thing, standing noticeable money, it is necessary to study beforehand demanded characteristics, possibilities, singularities, etc. precisely also it makes sense to arrive and at the order of sails. Often try to use councils of the sailing master, flattering its experience and competence, but masters happen different and can advise at all that you would select, knowing about sailing materials hardly more. Therefore I will try to liquidate lack of information of the population in this business, using a minimum of special terms and oversea words and without surprising the knowledge of a chemical compound of impregnations of fabrics and their brand names, and also decryptions of abbreviations of series of sailing materials of the different companies, their producing.
First of all before a choice of a fabric for a sail it is important to be defined with that, actually, what sail is necessary to you and for what. We go from the simple. Sails happen круизные — for walks and travelings and racing — for involvement of a vessel in sailing races. The general-purpose choice here isn't present. Kruiznye sails don't suit races as are made as unpretentious and general-purpose for all spectrum of wind loadings and are intended in the core for usage with curlings. Therefore they normally soft, heavy, but long-lasting enough. Requirements on strict saving of the given form to круизным to sails not so rigid. Racing sails are constructed, as a rule, for obtaining of the maximum ratio of bent for to sail weight under the specific conditions of race defined by a strength of wind, a course corner, a state of the sea and even time of days. Therefore each racing sail corresponds to enough narrow combination of the given parameters and, accordingly, doesn't happen general-purpose.“ The rolling ”under racing sails troublesome enough also is unprofitable, as demands their constant change, careful reversal and sufficient qualification of a command.
