Modern sailcloth materials are extremely complex, both regarding the type of fibers used and, even more so, regarding specific construction characteristics. For those reason micro- and macro-construction features of modern sailcloth, become a topic that asks for systematic investigation. The paper presented here is a contribution to the overall objective measurment and evaluation of sailcloth quality, in veiw of defining relevant quality descriptors for sailcloth micro- and macro-construction as in establishing adequate testing methods and procedures for their masurment and evaluation of results.
