Our sailing season is just starting, but even in the off season we’ll find days to get out and take the boat for a spin. We’ve done a few sails already this year. We have new sunbrella sail covers so the main will pretty much always be dry and protected from the sun. -- Andrew Means S.V. Safari - 1977 C&C 34 Mk I Seattle, WA

Our sails spend almost 6 months a year in storage. I'm sure that proper stored sails last longer just due to less exposure. Improper stored sails will probably need replacing sooner than ones that remain on the boat all year. While speaking with the designer, we talked about UV protected threads and when is best to use them.

It is quite OK for cruising, BUT he had to replace the dacron sun-cover with Sunbrella and repair some of the stitching. It cost him $800. The sail spent "all the time" on the furler since we get to sail 12 months a year (SoCal). Leslie.
