My current Dacron Jib has Insignia sticky-back on the leech, which I am not
happy with.  I wonder if anyone else following this has Sticky-Back as a
UV, and if they have noticed they have a frisbee leech? I would have
expected the leech to be needing some leech line adjustment by now, but I
have it all the way off and still can't get the cup out of the leech. I am
afraid if I take it off I will be stuck with sticky crap that I cannot
remove.

[Bill Coleman via CnC-List]

You know, I would bet dollars to donuts that if you offered the loft to
remove the old UV Cover, so all the loft had to do is cut and sew a new one
on, you would get quite a break. It is a pain in the Arse to get something
like that in, that takes more time to clean up and prepare than it does to
just do the job the first time.
Just sayin.

Stus-List Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: UV Strip

[Jeff Nelson via CnC-List]

Also has the benefit that it doesn't add weight to the leach of the 
sail, which can be important in light wind.  As well,
there is less of a chance your furled sail will unwind in a 
wind...because it is encased in the sockso the sock has to fail as well.


The drawback of course is you have to put the sock on and off...but 
having used both, my boat with leach UV protection
and J-105 with sock.  The extra 5 minutes doesn't kill me.   If you 
sailed alone a lot, might be more of a nuisance but I try to
avoid that as I am more of a social person so I prefer to find anybody 
to go sailing with.


My future sails will be sock based.

repairs to my main sail as well.
My costs were around $500 for the fabric, thread, and closure hardware 
and $500 for the machine + a few beers for

friends to help me move it.

So, all in I'm out about what it would have cost to purchase one, but 
now I am self sufficient.


I realize that I'm comparing apples and oranges here, but I suspect 
the work involved in ripping the old UV cover off and
adding a new UV cover to a sail is likely the same effort as building 
a main cover with a pattern.  Materials might be less
as you can add many smaller strips off a yard of fabric.  I think in 
my future, I'm going to go with the sock method for UV

covers.  We use one on the J-105 I race on and it isn't a big burden.

Anyhow food for thought.

That included about $375 worth of repairs, but still at about $1000 
for the UV strip I think it was double the last time I had that job done.

North Sails used to make a jib sock to put over a roller furled jib.  
I’m curious if the lofts still offer it.  I know the one in Annapolis 
used to make them.

Stus-List UV Strip

[Robert Abbott via CnC-List]

I had the UV strip replaced on my 135% last year by Doyle Sails 
here...all in cost was $575 CDN .    Old UV strip 12 to 13 years old and 
cracking/splitting.

Yes to both of your questions...They are nuts and it is pretty good 
chunk of a new sail.
I resolved the problem by purchasing a Juki industrial sewing machine 
for $500 used from a local business.
I'm now in the process of building a new Main cover, but I will have 
repairs to my main sail as well.
My costs were around $500 for the fabric, thread, and closure hardware 
and $500 for the machine + a few beers for

friends to help me move it.

So, all in I'm out about what it would have cost to purchase one, but
