Sail Covers
« on: 12 Jan 2012, 19:17 »
Just a quick note to mention a company that i used to make a jib sock, main sail cover with lazy jack cutouts and a mizzen sock for my bayraider. All made to measure and design which included my input. The jib sock has a full length zip down the side and loops on the top to haul it up with a halyard. My bermudan main cover will protect the sail when i leave the boat with the boom up and main flaked over it. The mizzen is a plain sock wider at the bottom than the top to take the additional sail and boom.

The cost was £250.00 for jib and main and £80.00 for the mizzen. The material seems to be very supple and durable with a beige colour which matches my spray hood exactly.

The company name is Walrus Fabrications and the contact name is Simon Elliott
he can be emailed on mrwalrus2@gmail.com

This posting also takes of the annoying carpet cleaner spammer from the top of the list

Happy New Year to all

I endorse Peter's recommendation of Walrus - good quality jib and mizzen socks (to Peter's design) for £200

How is the mizzen cover fitted? Do you have to unstep the mizzen?

Yes, it is the only way.  I usually only use it (and the jib cover, for that matter) if I am leaving the boat for a few days.
