My sail cover emblems were looking kind of ratty. I found the link to [url="http://www.sailboatlogos.com/"]sailboatlogos.com[/url] on our links page and decided to give them a try. I really like their product. Here's a before and after picture, amazingly the new emblems makes the sail cover look almost new again.







Their emblem is larger so it fits over the existing emblem. We just used a standard sewing machine and sewed the new emblem on the sail cover. About a 25 minute job.

Well, reading THIS thread just cost me $40!

Actually Tom, I didn't know such a thing was that easily available. My old sail cover emblems are shot, but the cover is otherwise in good condition. Thanks for posting.

Tom, Dave & Deb, question... do you guys, like us, find that the sail cover is way tooooo big?

At that back of ours there is probably 6" of excess canvas under the boom and that is true for the entire length of the cover.

Tom, Looks great up close too!

Tom,
Yes, I'd say the sail cover is oversized. It hangs down well below the boom all along it's length. That might account for why it's lasted so long: I have a friend with a C-25 whose aftermarket sail cover is a bit snug. The main halyard winch on the mast has worn completely through the sail cover.
