Hi Richard,
Gracie has a UK Sail cover.
You can find quite a few pics here to see her sailing with a stowed cover.

The boat with grey cover is probably most easy to see the effect of
PVC spreaders on each side at the top where the lazy jacks lines
terminate, the bolt rope in the boom slot and the front zip-on cover
that goes ahead of the mast (lastly).
Cheers, Russ

Hi Danny,
The boat I crew on for racing has one of those covers on a loose
footed main. 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

Hm... I stand corrected!
How does that work? Isn't it sewn to the foot of the sail?

I have one, and a loose footed main. 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.
Paul. :)

Hi Liz,
I think doyle started these and they call it a stack pack. 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.

Good evening!
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!
Liz
