cloth

Pentex
Pentexsails are sails for the regatta sailor and for the leisure sailor, they are produced from a special material composit, a laminate.
A laminate is a layer composit material witch is produced in 3 layers. The baselayer is the Pentexfiber. That gives the material at low weight a high strength and form stability. Both outside layers consist of Mylar film. During the lamination process the 3 layers are glued under pressure.

Mylar
This cloth has the same structure as Pentex, however Polyester fibers are used.

Dacron
Dacron is a woven cloth from Polyester fibers. The advantage of this cloth is a good handling and long stability.
