Re: Questions on cuben I talked to a sailmaker last summer, one that does a lot of custom work for racing sailboats. As a result, they do a lot of work with Cuben. They mostly use the same variant that ZPacks uses (.6 oz... |

Re: Practicality or a cuben fiber shelter? I haven't attempted to teach my Cuben shelters anything, so I don't know about that part, but I only had trouble getting a taut pitch on my first try. Once I got the geometry right, it was ... |
