I've had one of these for the past couple of years and overall I quite like them. I only cruise, however each side of the bag rolls up along the boom into a very small area resulting in zero impact on the sail for racing. The sail maker is Leitch/McBride located on the west coast of Canada.

The cover has a bolt rope sewn in the bottom which goes inot the boom slot. We stow the lazy jacks against the mast and roll the cover against to boom when sailing. On the C&C I chartered a few years ago (BVIs, <insert heavy sigh>) we just left it up 'cause we were cruising. Cheers, Russ Sweet 35 mk-1 At 05:15 AM 03/10/2012, you wrote: Hm... I stand corrected! How does that work? Isn't it sewn to the foot of the sail?

I can remove the cover if I want for racing, or roll it and strap it to the boom. For cruising I just leave it setup.

All the canvass shops will make you one and call it something a little different. Keep in mind you can't have a loose footed sail and it becomes part of your sail. I asked about these when I was shopping for new sails and decided against it. I figured a lazy jack system and a regular sailcover was best for me. I guess I wanted them to be separate. I only met one guy that had one and he raved about it. However, he was hoping I would buy his boat at the time.

I'm wondering what these 'new' (new to me) sail cover and bag are called. I have seen them on several sailboats old and new this season and I'm told by one owner that your main sail is sewn into the bottom of this bag and when you drop it the sail falls into the bag and when it's closed it looks like an ordinary sail cover. Replaces the lazy jacks for sure and it looks great! I would really like to investigate for Mistral but I forgot to ask what it is actually called. If anyone knows....it would be the 'list guys'! Love all the chat back and forth and all the info! Many thanks!
