Abstract
A sail cloth is provided from a woven substrate which contains two or more warp yarns that are intersected by fill yarns in a regular or repeating pattern. In constructing the sail, the cloth is orientated such that the warp yarns are substantially parallel to the direction of maximum load. The cloth provides significantly improved tear strength and stretch resistance in comparison with conventional weaves.
