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

I have a jib sock and it is a pain to both put on and take down but it has kept the jib in pretty good condition. JohnC 33 MK II On Monday, June 20, 2022, 09:56:27 p.m. EDT, Bob Mann via CnC-List wrote: Do away with the sacrificial altogether!  I bought a jib sock for my 35 in

Do away with the sacrificial altogether! I bought a jib sock for my 35 in December 2017 for $580 from a small, local sailmaker. A few tears in it but still going strong! Bob Mann Detroit > On 06/20/2022 9:45 PM Neil Andersen via CnC-List > wrote: > > > I had a “stick on”

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”,

U V cover replacement is by the foot. What else did they recommend? New webbing? Restitching? On Mon, Jun 20, 2022 at 7:34 PM Bill Coleman via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Maybe it's time for a SailRite machine! > On the other hand, isn't there some kind of a white sticky material

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. Bill Coleman Entrada Erie PA On Mon, Jun 20, 2022, 19:08

Stus-List Cost to replace UV cover

The UV cover on my genoa is starting to fail, so I took it to Bacons to get repaired. I figured 5 or 6 boat bucks maybe. Well I figured wrong, the estimate came back at $1350! Yikes! Are they nuts or is this the going rate now? That seems like a pretty good chunk of an entire sail!

I replaced a rule with a johnson, I believe it was almost identical as far as th attachment, except the rotation was off just a bit. I have to say, I have tried every possible potable water pump there is, and I just discovered Johnson had a pump, I think it is variable speed Flow Master 5.0, but

Bill, It looks like you may have accidentally responded "off list" but I'm responding back "on list".  For ease of identification all of the lines associated with main sail control have a green scheme.  I have 12 clutches on the cabin top (2 reefs, an outhaul, a cunningham, a mainsheet course

Hi all, I just bought Halcyon from Jamestown dist. It is also water based and is supposed to have less smell. I am going to try it to refresh the interior of our 40-2.  I wonder if it is actually the same product as Gen. Fin. just rebranded.  Ted Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android On Mon,

I have never used this on teak, but I had very good results with other exotic woods with high levels of natural oil (e.g., blood wood). You may want to try High Performance satin varnish from General Finishes. It is water based, which is an extra plus. It holds well for about 4 years (so far),

Stus-List Re: Varnish

Thanks, Danny. I have used Awlwood before with mixed results. It worked great on my dorade boxes and has held up for years. My cockpit coaming, not so much -- for some reason the primer did not adhere well. I suspect it’s the natural oil in teak but do not know for sure. From: Danny
