Spoke to Jay Siano at Pennsylvania Thread Co. : Solar Thread II and ordered a spool of White 1800 thread that arrived with a sample spool of Luscent ... will update this thread [ha!] and advise as to the qualities after re-sewing the Sunbrella cover to the stays'l (on a Profurl roller furling gizmo).  Only 1 boom on this boat.


Solar Thread is much softer than and sews better than Tenara.  Made in Austria, it has the same Warranty as Tenara.

Colors: Clear / Luscent + White + Black
