A sailcloth in roll good form permits efficient and cost effective
construction of cross cut and vertical cut, laminate sails based on
"off-angle," (asymmetrical) load bearing fibers. The sailcloth also may
include a conventional warp and fill thread or fiber layout. Such
sailcloth illustratively is significantly less susceptible to load force
stretch, creep elongation, and airfoil shape deformation because, among
other things, it is not dependent on the load bearing limitations of
symmetrical, woven or knitted roll good sailcloth.
