I have a jib sock and it is a pain to both put on and take down but it has
kept the jib in pretty good condition.

Do away with the sacrificial altogether! I bought a jib sock for my 35 in
December 2017 for $580 from a small, local sailmaker. A few tears in it but
still going strong!

I had a “stick on” sacrificial cover attached to my 150 years ago. I was
rounding Bloody Point on the Chesapeake in fairly strong winds when the cover
got attached to the shrouds instead of the sail. Not a lot of fun as we could
only adjust our heading so much, we’re running out of “runway”, and the sail
was basically glued to the shroud. I will NEVER use a glue on item like that
unless it is also sewn on as well.

U V cover replacement is by the foot. What else did they recommend? New
webbing? Restitching?

Maybe it's time for a SailRite machine! On the other hand, isn't there some
kind of a white sticky material you can buy and just put it on yourself? It
sticks like the numbers or graphics. I'm pretty sure I had that on one of my
leeches.

The UV cover on my genoa is starting to fail, so I took it to Bacons to get
repaired. I figured 5 or 6 boat bucks maybe. Well I figured wrong, the estimate
came back at $1350! Yikes!
Are they nuts or is this the going rate now? That seems like a pretty good
chunk of an entire sail!
