John,

Do you have any idea as to what is meant by medium weight for this tarp material in the kit? A sail for your boat would not need to be heavier than the 3.8-4 oz. Dacron you can get from Sailrite.

Ideally, you want the sailcloth to respond to the lightest of breezes, so that your very light weight boat will be as responsive as possible.
