() A properly built A chute which is listed at 3/4 Oz really has high stress areas reinforced with much heavier material. If you don't have the clew head and tack reinforced, then you really either have a HEAVY sail that will be hanging in relalively light air; or you have a joke waiting to happen: "We put of the chute and God took it down."
