Class Politics Laser Sail Cloth

[IntensitySails]

I have looked in the class rules and no where have I found what cloth the Laser sail can be made out of listed. Does any one know the description of the sail cloth used as official Laser Sail cloth?

Laser class rules specify that sails must be supplied for the manufacturer so I doubt that the cloth specification is generally available. There was a discussion about the sailcloth years ago on the email list. See for example http://cerebus.winsite.com/laser/archives/1998/msg00666.html

Laser sails are made from Dacron, approximately 4 oz, the cloth has fairly light resin, and evenly weighted warp and fill treads, the fabric is similar to what would be used for a medium-to-light genoa on a small (under 25 ft) crusing boat.
