Another UK GIS (Gizzle in Hants)
Hi all,
Having just bought the plans I have been having a good read through before purchasing the materials to start the build. I'll be sure to post some pics of the build once underway.
One thought I had was around sail material, I imagine that all Goats have been build with dacron/polyester sails and I wondered if there was much to be gained from using a more modern laminate sail material.
I would think that a Dacron sail will be more tolerant of abuse but is also going to stretch more than a laminate where you get more stability of shape. Perhaps there is little to be gained on a sail of this size.
Any thoughts on this....?

This discussion about sailcloth became so useful we organised to keep it as a separate thread.
