Uh, Billy Boy Blue, the purpose of sails is to have then
bent on so they can power the vessel around. I guess
you're like Booby who sails with the wind-up head
sail partially unwound with the motor running and the
mainsail cover along with the compass and instrument
covers on but the radar screen (inside the cabin where
it does no good) on.

Talk about messed up piorities . . .

S.Simon - sails should spend more time up and drawing
than covered.

Sail covers, dimwit. Washing sailcovers reduces their ability to protect the
sails from UV.

Unfortunately, you now have less UV protection than before you washed them.
Probably not a big deal on cushions, but ruinous for sails.
