Karen,
Where are the side shrouds during trailering with this arrangement? Do they
stick out the top or bottom of the sleeve? Or somewhere else?
TIA, Judy B

creativemod on your boat?
We have only had our boat for 3 weeks and only done on improvement, which
isn't
really a modification but I'd like to share it anyway. I suppose it is in
the
Elegantly Engineered category.
When we trailer Miss Maggie (a '98P19#1010), we tie up the roller
reefing genoa
on the mast. This takes about 10 minutes to get the ropes wrapped around
the two
parts. We just had a sunbrella cover made that zips over the mast and
roller
furler. It is tight enough so that it holds the roller furled sail and the
stays
together for quick, easy trailering. It also protects the genoa and lines
from sun
damage while it sits in our driveway. We also had a batten put in one end
so that
we can raise the cover (via the main halyard tied to a grommet in the end of
the
cover)over the genoa when Miss Maggie is rigged, if we leave her in the
water for a
period of time. The cover is dark blue to match our sail cover and is
reinforced
with vinyl on the inside where the metal fittings on the mast stick up. And
it
looks great! And we don't need to use bungies or lines to tie things up--we
just
zip everything together and we are done!
