Deck General USCG Question #5305 (Set 165)

Which is the main cause of damage to Kevlar sails when not in use?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — All of the above

Kevlar aramid fibers degrade under ultraviolet sunlight, suffer mechanical fiber damage when sharply creased or folded frequently, and are weakened by harsh chemical agents like bleach. Protecting synthetic laminates from all these factors is vital for safety.
