The scrim on my sail has degraded to the point where I cannot see oncoming boat traffic and I have to keep lifting the edge of the sail or ducking my head around it to see what's coming from the lee.

viz: https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipP ... JaRW5TYzBR

At first I thought "Cheap Materials or User Abuse".... but now that I am looking at it closer it seems like maybe it's from the rubbing action of scrim-on-scrim when the sail is reefed.

If that is the case... Oh Well....

How about your scrim? Can you still see through it?

I got about 2-3 years of clarity on mine.
