sail cloth
Rigging's sturdy material
Sailcloth is a strong, durable fabric used to make sails for boats and ships.
The material—traditionally canvas, now often synthetic—must withstand wind stress and weather exposure.
The term extends to similar heavy-duty fabrics used for tents, awnings, and bags: a tote made of sturdy sailcloth.
