Gary,

The choice of cloth is going to be very dependant on weather you'll be
cruising or racing.  Cruising cloths like Dacron will last a lot longer and
are less expensive but are not very good for racing more than just one or
two races.  They tend to stretch out of shape and although they'll still
move the boat they won't move it at maximum speeds after just a few times
out.  Mylar and Kevlar will hold their shape better over time but won't last
as long as Dacron and cost more.  Aside from  the cloth issue you might want
to consider a 140% LP as your number 2 sail especially if you're going to be
using it on a roller furling unit.

Good luck,
Frank Albert

Hi everyone! 
I'm currently in contact with North Sails concerning a new roller furling
head sail.
At this time I'm considering a paneled #2, LP = 135%, but the cloth choices
are incredible!
Any suggestions???
