: Raka has 3.25oz. 60in. for $5.50 yd. which works very well for narrow boats
: when cut in half (more or less).

Is it a plain or satin weave? The Raka website only says "cloth." The 4HS satin weave cloth I get looks and feels like Eqyptian cotton. Lovely to play with. Satin weaves have a denser amount of glass and are harder to manufacture. If the Raka is a satin weave, Larry's about 1/2 the price...
