It can vary from thicker and heavier to lighter, and there are lots of different finishes as well so it can be quite stiff or supple. The cloth is made from polyester, or Dacron as it’s also known. We also use ripstop nylon for spinnakers. And then you have the laminate sails which can be made with Mylar and different fibers like carbon, Kevlar or dyneema.

Interesting, thanks for the information! In exchange I will give you information about my workplace.

At the grocery store when you have something you don't want to buy just give it to the cashier, we have a dedicated system for someone to go put it back. don't leave raw chicken sitting next to the candy, we can't sell raw warm chicken.🙃

Oh man, that drives me nuts when I see that! I always try to find someone to give it to, you can’t put that back, you never know how long it’s been sitting there! Some people are so dense.

I’ve not worked in a grocery store but I did work at a butcher/deli. It was really fun, lovely people. Luckily it was small enough we didn’t have to deal with that!
