Reply to: Advice: New main sail for Hobie 21SE

[quote=MN3]sure you can, it's just not optimal. we used to take tornado pin top dacron sails and cut 1' off the top to fit our boats.. .and turn it into a square top. they worked, but cant touch a modern sail. dacron stretches over time ... and the sails become "fuller" - not good for pointing or heavy air most modern sails don't stretch (much), but the film will (a little) degrade over time (exacerbated by use, uv, poor handling /storage) and simply fail (rip)... where dacron will typically just keep stretching and losing shape (unless it comes in contact with something that causes a tear) [quote]Can you make a Dacron sail in a square top? I was told you cant but don't believe it.[/quote][/quote]
