I have a Kelly Peterson 46 and am having my sacrificial jib panel replaced. I want to redo the spreader chafe patches as well but my sail maker doesn&#8217;t know where to get the UHMW material. He is game to try this, but thought if he can&#8217;t find it, maybe heavy (40 mil) dodger window material would work well. Any thoughts where to get the UHMW or does the dodger window material sound good? Thanks, Carl <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div class=\"answer\">\n<p>Hi Carl: Re: the source for UHMW&#8211;click here for another Q &amp; A covering that. Re: using it for the jib&#8211;not sure it is a good bet here due to the stiffness and weight. My choice would be dacron. But for anything to do with the main or mizzen, it is the best.
