sailcloth
Sailcloth is a robust, durable fabric, often made of nylon or polyester, and traditionally made of flax, hemp, or cotton, specifically designed and used in the manufacture of sails for boats, ships, or wind-driven vehicles. It may also be used to create items that require high-strength and weather-resistant material, such as tents, outdoor clothing, backpacks, etc. The properties of a sailcloth are determined by its structure and weight, which in turn determines the sail's performance.
