Mainsail Covers
Has anyone here bought one of those main sail covers from West Marine? The
local canvas place has a backlog and ours went shot-to at the end of the season last year when a big storm blew up....problem is that it was custom made for the lazyjacks...I really don't want to sacrifice the lazyjacks for want of a main cover...push comes to shove, I guess I'll just tape up the places where it went until we can get one ordered custom-made.. -- katysails s/v Chanteuse Kirie Elite 32 "Women and cats will do as they please..." (Heinlein)...and we don't really care what the men and dogs think....(katy) |
Oh Good Grief Kitty... go buy some sunbrella fabric and sew it up yourself!!

Katie,
My boat is wearing one right now. Not as good as the Custom but you can walk in and walk out with one. I have the large one and I do have it on with Lazy Jacks. Not as pretty but works just fine.

"Thom Stewart" chortled: Katie, My boat is wearing one right now. Not as good as the Custom but you can walk in and walk out with one. I have the large one and I do have it on with Lazy Jacks. Not as pretty but works just fine. Ole Thom, Your mainsail cover looks like CRAP! It doesn't even cover the underside of the sail/boom. You could do better wrapping it in that junk, blue-poly tarp K-Mart sells. Sunlight reflected off the water is reducing that new, inefficient, loose-footed sail of yours to an old, inefficient, rotten-footed sail as we speak. I guess you don't realize the dangers of sunlight reflected off the water???? Maybe it's because the sun rarely shines up there in the northwest? Next time, try spending some money on a custom-made sail cover of Sunbrella brand polyester like you see covering the fine, custom-made, Hong Kong Sailmakers mainsail on my fine yacht. For your viewing pleasure, Old Boy! http://captneal.homestead.com/Sheshines.html CN |
Capt you are indeed correct about reflected sun. However dont you have
problems with such a lose fit cover rubbing and wearing away your chinese sails. I would half hitch a line along your whole boom to snug up the fit. Also Sunbrella makes a nice Sunburst yellow color that would look way better on your boat then that crappy blue you see on most boats. Joe |
Bob,
Your wrong, Sunbrella stops all UV no matter the color. And the angle of reflection from wave varies great enough to be a factor. Get back to changing diaper, something you know about. Joe |
Get out your protractor, Billy Boy. Sunlight can reflect off the water through twenty
degrees on either side of the hull during mid-day when the sun is the strongest and potentially damage the foot of any mainsail not tightly covered by a proper mainsail cover. That's an hour of sun on either side. That's two hours a day too much. CN wrote in message ... On 3 Mar 2005 13:59:26 -0800, "Joe" wrote: Capt you are indeed correct about reflected sun.

Light colored sunbrella does not block UV nearly as well as dark. It's a much more serious consideration than the very minor (comical really) issue of reflections from the water, which due to the width of the hull, are unlikely to every meet the sail. BB |

To put it kindly as I can; YOU ARE FULL OF ****! Please look at the picture of my boat in the water (Not up on Jacks.) The one in the water is the new main with the new sail cover.

By the way Neally,
The Boom covered and extending straight back and horizonal is fine for picture taking. Any GOOD live aboard knows slung to the side and end lowered is much better. More room to use the cockpit and less windage. Just something to for "Show & Tell" in the Special Ed Class Ole Thom P/S not responsible for what the Yard does when it is in their hands. I installed new main and cover when I got back to Slip. North took the old main. Not sure what for? Remember I offered it to you and you said it was to big for your rig I guess they'll clean it and restitch it and sell to some other bargain hunter. http://community.webtv.net/tassail/ThomsPage |

Just something to for "Show & Tell" in the Special Ed Class Oh, Thom, you are wrong yet again. Every real cruising sailor knows it is best to have the aft end of the boom a little higher than the forward end. The reason being that in a rainstorm, the water does not all deluge off then end into the cockpit. Anything but a centered boom is lubberly. I will never have my boom set off to one side or the other. Ole Thom P/S not responsible for what the Yard does when it is in their hands. I installed new main and cover when I got back to Slip.

The old sail of yours will probably be donated to a Mac26X owner's club where it will be put on some old, crummy Mac26X and it will go faster there than it ever did pushing that heavy old pilot house of yours around.

You didn't have to go to all the trouble of digging out the Community2 page. The same picture is in the present HomePage. Ahh Yes, now I see. It is picture #11. You ran out of fingers!! Sorry old buddy. You need to take off your shoes. It is the picture after to puppy. That's the picture where you ran out of fingers Ole Thom P/S hold the damn bus neal, I'm coming to for a little refresher on spelling http://community.webtv.net/tassail/ThomsPage |
Neal,
A covered Boom slung to the side lets the water drain outside the cockpit bummy, with the end dowm it goes over the side thru the scuppers. I realize that half-ass Bimini not only prevents you from using your jib winches properly but also prevents you from securing your "Broken Boom" properly. you've got it set-up to drain unto your cabin top, over your windows, down your deck along your rail until it finds a scupper. That is where you have all those pretty coiled lines. Get a clue, man, get a clue Ole Thom http://community.webtv.net/tassail/ThomsPage |

Kate,
If you're thinking of using a standard cover with "Jacks" there is a very easy and good solution, My jacks hook unto eyes on each side of the Boom (Three on each side.) I take the starboard jacks under the boom and hook them to the port eyes. I do the same with the Port side jacks, under and to the starboard eyes. I let them hang loose until I fit the cover and slide the bottom under the boom(Following the Jack lines) This creates a double fold under the boom and sail. By the way, I've stopped using sail ties. When the bottoms are in place I take up on the Jacks, sealing the folds. I just take them up enough to snug them. Kate, you can't get the bottoms full folds because of the sheet leads and vang but you can tuck them pretty well. I then position the boom with the topping lift and the main sheet traveler, which is tighten by the main sheet. If you go with WM and you need any help I'm as close as your keyboard and my new camera is ready at the other end. Good Luck However, Ole Thom http://community.webtv.net/tassail/ThomsPage |
