Tom, I think I'm "losing it". The paper I referred to was the paper accredited to a conservation site via the internet, I thought it was in this thread, but apparently it's not. Sharon? By the way, IMO, the paper is very informative, and the information well worth considering in terms of our needs for painting supports.
By invoking the stresses of a ship under sail, I was thinking of times long past, not the present day. I believe most craft under sail have been spreading sheets of synthetic fabrics of one or another type since WWII.
