Here they are Jeff. They were taken yesterday evening before the storm hit. So, the background is somewhat dark; but, I do hope they work for you. The lengths are Forward Lowers 5' and the Uppers 4'. I left the Aft Lower at 1' as I don't think it has ever hung up on me. As you can see, they rest easily on the chain plates. I also used a combination of Acetone and 250 grit sand paper to remove the labeling. The acetone was not able to remove all the paint/ink on the PVC. However, a light scrub with the sandpaper did the trick. The sandpaper didn't dull the finish as there wasn't to much sanding to do after the acetone did its number.

- The best solution to the shroud wraps is the PVC. As mentioned earlier, it is cheap and readily available. I will be installing them on my 27 this weekend as I am replacing them on my 22 as well. The set up I plan to use is 3-4 feet on the forward shroud, 2-3 on the mid shroud and 1-2 on the aft. A similar set up on my C-22 completely eliminated the headsail from hanging on the shrouds.

- Jeff,
- Did you get my , rather primitive, graphic of the set up ?
- A short section (approx 8 inches ) covers the Turnbuckles,
- It has a cap on it.
- Above , and covering the shroud , is the second section of PVC with a cap at each end.. the cap acts like a Bearing and allows the TOP section to revolve (the short bottom section is held by contact to the deck)..
- Each cap was picked up at West Marine. Easily fit into the PVC pipe, and secured with a touch of glue.
- The top section rotates as the sail is pulled across. The short bottom section stays put.
- The top section's length is determined by HOW HIGH your Sailcloth touches on the Shroud..
- (Mine is about 4 feet long, making the combined length about 4' 6'' for my 135 percent )
- the whole thing was easy to build and except having to remove the turnbuckle to slide the PVC pipes on, is quick to do..
- I'm sorry I don't have a photo of it.. but can dash off to the boat today ..
- IF,, someone wants to see it..

- Ralph and others. Thanks for the word on PVC pipe. That seems an effective and economical fix. Do you also cover the shroud above the turnbuckle? That is where my 150 genny seems to make the most contact, creating a chafe hazard. Do you run PVC up the shroud a fair distance? Does that sufficiently keep the sail away from the shroud?
