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 Sunbrella uv protection removed due to poor, amateur installation. The stick-on uv protection underneath was marginal -- doesn't last very long. The system worked well and was cost effective.

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.

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.

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!
