We have just installed quantum laminate sail to replace main sail. We were interested in maintaining a better shape on a mast reefed mainsail. Just finished trip to Key West (Intention was Dry Tortuga) winds picked up to 30-40 knot winds. Performed beautifully. Much stronger sail material than Dacron. Manufacture stated no wind speed limit (limits that would cause stretching) Probably increased our speed 1/2 to 1 knot. Can be used as storm sail when reefed. Will maintain shape longer than Dacron so in that way more durable. For mast reefed sail better shape, less drag. For high winds the stay sail and reefed mainsail combination worked very well.
