Spider silk sails!




I found an interesting article about spider silk. This stuff is strong and very light. A strand one inch in diameter and stop a jet in it's tracks! I love the idea of a woven spider fabric lighter than a laminate sail, but stronger than a dacron sail....

It is a good article, Check it out!!!!
