+1 for ATN sleeves—Etienne has figured these out and will even customise them
for a small fee.
He made one about 4 years ago for my 36 XL for about $800. Before that I had a
local sailmaker copy one Etienne had made for me years earlier at several times
ATNs price.
Further, when I called to place the order for my most recent sleeve, he
answered the phone himself and remembered the earlier sleeve he had customised
for me with the white and red C &C stripes.
The one caveat with any sleeve is that even with the external tightening lines
that criss cross the sleeve to snug up the portions above and below the largest
diameter, I find it necessary to spiral an extra halyard around the sleeve to
keep the sleeve from ‘flapping’ in a good breeze. Not only is this noisy for my
dock neighbours, it can destroy the sleeve if the breeze is both strong and
steady.

can buy online or look for them at a local boat show. Shows may have discounts.

Hello Listers,
Can anyone recommend a good source to buy a genoa UV sock, or have one made?
Or is anybody selling one?
I ordered new racing sails this offseason and intentionally didn’t get a UV
strip on the genoa, so I need a sock for UV protection when the boat’s not in
use.
The max luff length I measured for the genoa, from head attachment point on the
swivel to tack attachment point on the furler drum, is 37’ 0.5”.
I have a spare headsail halyard with which to hoist the sock, and bow cleats
for cleating off any lines on the sock.
Thanks in advance for any recommendations.
Cheers,
Randy Stafford
