I have Egyptian Cotton on my Off White M15 and I am quite happy with it. Pictures sent off list to Craig. The Egyptian Cotton does cut down the glare quit a bit as well. The Tanbark is very visible off in the distance and under hazy/foggy conditions. I can always pick Bill Riker out from a long way off. I don't know how Egyptian cotton works because I never see my boat from a long way off. The corrollary I suppose is that Tan Bark must be hard to see in the dark, but then depending on what you are up to maybe you don't want to be seen :) Doug Kelch M15 "Seas The Day" --- chbenneck@juno.com wrote:
Hi Craig,
Tanbark colored sails keep down the glare.
If you read the accounts of the Pardeys voyages, they use tanbark colored sails because it is easier on the eyes.
Another advantage is that they don't show dirt as white sails would.
SAILRITE list tanbark colored dacron sail cloth material in their catalog.
