My sailmaker installed a glue on gray laminate material UV leech protector on
my two new roller furling laminate genoas (145 and 110) sails when they were
made. I don’t think it is stitched but will look tomorrow. I am not sure
what the material is, but could find out. It last lasted for 4
Some calling around got it down to $900 or so. One shop had a recording saying
they already had too many jobs and would only take calls from people with work

In my case, the sheets are led down to the tack as the sleeve is hoisted over

OTOH, as I age I often forget that I fixed/replaced/rebuilt/etc. a particular
piece of gear previously—often even forgetting how I fixed it before.
Thus most projects are ‘new’ to my aging brain!

I made a headsail sock several years ago for a PY26 for about $100. Bought long
and short zipper and some acrylic fabric. Zip up to sheets and zip long zipper
as hoist sock.
This sock was needed to protect a nice, lightweight genoa that had the heavy

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

I had a similar experience when a new crew sheeted in the headsail
