Steve, I see you sail on Lake Ontario. The cloth weight may be driven by what boat model you have?

I'd ask what the max wind velocity is for each weight sail. 5 oz sounds light to me for a general purpose sail. I suspect its good to somewhere around 12-15 knots. Once you know that you can make the performance/durability trade-off judgment call.

Thanks for all the great feedback everyone. Rolly Tasker has given me the best price by a wide margin. A new Genny shipped to me for $1500, their 'coastal cruising' line. Question to you all, 5 oz or 6.3 oz dacron? Dacron UV strip or Sunbrella? I am leaning towards the 6.3 oz and the sunbrella but maybe that's not a good idea here on Lake Ontario where the summer is mostly light. I just want a sail that will last, these are cruising sails. I'm afraid with the heavier material it'll be harder to fill in light air. How much more resilient is the sunbrella over the dacron for the UV strip and how much of a difference is there really between the 5 oz and 6.3 oz in terms of weight and light air performance? They actually quoted me 5 oz and dacron UV at first, maybe they know what they're talking about.
