I have some lightweight coated nylon from a tent rain fly that I am going to recycle into some sails for my JIF65. Just wondering what direction the weave should be going relative to the luff.
Thanks
Brian
At right angles to the LEECH.
Don`t worry about the Luff.
Thanks IanHB. Just showing my inexperience:) Lesson learned.

Usually, the warp (the long side of the material) is set parallel to the leach.
The warp threads (run lenghtways) are often heavier than the weft threads (run across). So to get the max strength to resist stretch, the warp is the better choice to line up with the leech.
