Very little on the web. I suggest you contact sailmakers in Scotland or England.

From the web:

"For many years now, Duradon has been a good choice for traditional sails as it has the look and feel of cotton, has less stretch, is stronger by weight and doesn't mildew easily. It has polyester fibers and was developed by Francis Webster in Scotland to replace their flax cloth.

Just this year North Cloth has developed a soft synthetic cloth called Oceanus, aimed at the traditional market. It is strong and stable and is nice to work with. It does look a bit more like Dacron than Duradon does, but it is a good product and is quickly becoming a popular choice for American schooners and square-riggers."

I am not sure either that it's still manufactured, but I do think so. I believe they stopped selling it in Germany due to some issues about toxicity of the coating they use??

The reason I would prefer Duradon to Oceanus is actually cost. It is as far as I have understood less expensive than Oceanus, but then again I may very well be wrong.

A friend sailed on Endeavour and Eye of the Wind, and they use Duradon. He left me some samples and I really like it.

Hopefully someone will have more info on it!!
