catalina27-talk: shroud covers

[Jeffery L. Sheler]

I'm thinking of installing shroud covers to protect my new dacron 150 
Genny from chafing. My rigger, whose judgment I have no reason to 
doubt, says he's not a believer in shroud covers and recommends 
instead those wheel thingies (I forgot what they're called) that 
allow the sail to roll past the shrouds, but I'm thinking one would 
have to install several of them along each shroud in order to keep 
the sail from coming into contact with the shrouds. Has anyone had 
experience with either of these approaches and can you tell me which 
is preferred? Thanks.
