The last two times I have bought headsails for Penniless, the sailmakers have suggested dacron. It slowly degrades over time and can be re-cut. My previous high-tech sails had collapsed suddenly (two out of four headsails over 20+ years). I went with a local sailmaker who specializes in dacron for Stars and Log Canoes and he was quite reasonable (in the price range of the offshore folks). And, once again, we became competitive with the new sail. The previous one lasted about six years and was getting tired, but it had been raced about 20-30 times a year.

The cost is very competitive. But measure triple (double is not good enough). I also heard that if they screw up, they would replace the sail (not necessarily without some discussions, but they do).
