My current Dacron Jib has Insignia sticky-back on the leech, which I am not happy with. I wonder if anyone else following this has Sticky-Back as a UV, and if they have noticed they have a frisbee leech? I would have expected the leech to be needing some leech line adjustment by now, but I have it

You know, I would bet dollars to donuts that if you offered the loft to remove the old UV Cover, so all the loft had to do is cut and sew a new one on, you would get quite a break. It is a pain in the Arse to get something like that in, that takes more time to clean up and prepare than it does to j

Also has the benefit that it doesn't add weight to the leach of the sail, which can be important in light wind.  As well, there is less of a chance your furled sail will unwind in a wind...because it is encased in the sockso the sock has to fail as well. The drawback of course is you have t

Bacon’s told me their price for the material had recently doubled, so socks probably cost more too. On the other hand a sock works for ALL sails, not just one, and you can get it repaired without dragging the whole sail into the loft. Joe Coquina From: Richard Servance via CnC-List Sent: Thurs

I just had North replace the UV cover on my 135%. It was a boat buck ($1k). Hadn't heard of the sock method; so not sure if it's still an option from them. Sail safe, Richard Servance S/V Blue Heaven (C&C 34+) 757-995-3416 @svblueheaven Seattle, WA On Thu, Mar 2, 2023, 6:26 AM Robert Abbot

My post about this from last June: “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
