Anyone know a good source for a sunbrella cover for a jib on a roller furler?

This site is a GREAT resource full of VERY helpful folks.

Normally rf jobs are made with "sacrificial" cloth, usually sunbrella or similar. Were you planning to sew this on (not an easy task) or am I missing the point?

Dave,

Mine does not. I think I'd rather go with a cover since I believe this sail has a few more years left in it.

DO NOT I repeat DO NOT use the iron on type of leading edge RF cover. After aplication and a few rolls the rinkle bag and generaly ruin the sail shape.

Shawn,

Were you referring to 1) a cover that is sewn on to the foot and leech or 2) a slip on cover that you run up with a spare halyard?

#1 can be supplied by your local sail loft. #2 can also be supplied by your local sail loft, Catalina Direct, the Chandlery at catalinaowners.com, etc., etc.

If you are planning the sacrificial edge material,I would send sail to a sail mfger and have them do it.

If you are planning a sock which you raise with a sapare halyard, the material, sunbrella can be gotten, at here at an awning manufacturer. They will make, or sell the material for you to make.
