MODERN TEXTILE SAILCLOTHS AND POSSIBILITIES OF EVALUATING THEM

Modern sailcloth materials are extremely complex, both regarding the type of fibers used and, even more so, regarding specific construction characteristics. However, there is still a kind of primitive manufacturing approach present in the production of these otherwise high performance materials. There are no clear requirements regarding quality, and experience is still the most important parameter in assessing a product. For those reasons, precise characterization and evaluation of modern sailcloth materials is a topic that asks for systematic investigation, both in view of defining relevant characteristics and parameters and in defining and adapting adequate testing methods and procedures and evaluation of results. The paper presented here is a contribution to the scientific and professional approach to the topic.
