Sail Cover
by: Tammy

Acrylic is the most popular sail cover material and is most likely on 99% of all boats. Brand names Sunbrella, Recacril, Tempotest, Outdura to name a few.
Acrylic is a breathable boat cover material, which makes it an ideal fabric for covering sails. Color stable for the most part. There will be some fading, especially in the reds, but still, for longevity nothing beats acrylics.
Now for the abrasion part. This is not a strong point for Sunbrella. So to help with that, you will want to reinforce the mast area on both sides and I always reinforce where the head of the sail rubs.
Other ideas if acrylic is right for you, is weathermax 80.
Hope this helps.
