I went over to Bacon's today and they explained that the cost included about $375 worth of other work, mainly spreader patches and some other misc. stuff. Just the UV cover was about the same price as everyplace else.

My sailmaker installed a glue on gray laminate material UV leech protector on my two new roller furling laminate genoas (145 and 110) sails when they were made. I don’t think it is stitched but will look tomorrow. I am not sure what the material is, but could find out. It last lasted for 4 years and shows no signs of detaching or degrading. One small spot has needed repair due I think to shroud abrasion, and that was just done with sail repair tape.

I made a headsail sock several years ago for a PY26 for about $100. Bought long and short zipper and some acrylic fabric. Zip up to sheets and zip long zipper as hoist sock. This sock was needed to protect a nice, lightweight genoa that had the heavy Sunbrella uv protection removed due to poor, amateur installation. The stick-on uv protection underneath was marginal -- doesn't last very long. The system worked well and was cost effective.

We coil the sheets up to the sail and leave them under the sock, then just 1 zip all the way to the bottom. Our foredecker still hasn't figured out the tidy sock douse makes easy sock up. When I do it, it takes about 3 minutes to put the sock up. When foredecker does it...well it is just a complete circus.

Stus-List Re: Cost to replace UV cover
Several years ago I replaced my headsail sleeve (Sunbrella material zippered with a crossed double line 'snugging' system and C red, white and blue colored bands (2) from ATN, the same company that sells the gale sail, etc.) for about $800. This sleeve is used to cover whatever headsail is on the fuller so there is only one of them which is hoisted with a spin halyard. A bit of a pain to remove and then hoist, especially if one does not take care to keep the cover and snugging lines untangled on the removal. Since my foredeck crew handles dropping and hoisting the sleeve, they have a vested interest in dropping without tangles! I have used this system for many years and will replace the sleeve when needed--about every 5 years. The main issue is in a strong breeze, the material can be noisy, especially if the snugging system was not tightened vigorously. The sleeve has to be large enough to go over the rolled genoa at its widest point so, above and below this point, it is only as snug as the snugging system can be tightened. If a breeze is expected, I often wrap it tighter with the free spinnaker halyard by spiraling it around the sleeve. If there is a break in the racing/sailing schedule of several weeks or a month or more, I remove the sleeve and the headsail for storage below or off the boat. YMMV and I am sure it costs more now but probably less than $1350! Charlie NelsonWater Phantom C 36 XL/lcbNew Bern, NC

I had a “stick on” sacrificial cover attached to my 150 years ago. I was rounding Bloody Point on the Chesapeake in fairly strong winds when the cover got attached to the shrouds instead of the sail. Not a lot of fun as we could only adjust our heading so much, we’re running out of “runway”, and the sail was basically glued to the shroud. I will NEVER use a glue on item like that unless it is also sewn on as well.

U V cover replacement is by the foot. What else did they recommend? New webbing? Restitching?

Maybe it's time for a SailRite machine! On the other hand, isn't there some kind of a white sticky material you can buy and just put it on yourself? It sticks like the numbers or graphics. I'm pretty sure I had that on one of my leeches.
