You might try Sailnet.com and their link to Air Force Sails. They have a pretty good primer on types and materials that may be of interest. I believe they now have a sale on sails in conjunction with the Annapolis Boat Show, held this weekend. Shows usually offer a good opportunity to view exactly what the manufacturers are talking about. Good luck.
