We coil the sheets up to the sail and leave them under the sock, then
just 1 zip all the way to the bottom.
Our foredecker still hasn't figured out the tidy sock douse makes easy
sock up. When I do it, it takes about 3 minutes
to put the sock up. When foredecker does it...well it is just a
complete circus. I don't mind watching circuses
while drinking my rhum.

So, do you zip down to your sheets, and zip up to them, or do you take
the sheets off altogether and just zip with one zipper?

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!
