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.

Sailcloth
Sails have been made from cloth for all of recorded history. Typically sailcloth is' made from flax, hemp or cotton in various forms including canvas. However, modern sails are rarely made from natural fibers. Most sails are made from synthetic fibers ranging from low-cost nylon or polyester to expensive aramids or carbon fibers. Recent strides in technology now offer many options for the sailmaker.
