I need a jib bag for my C25 and have been unable to find the post that a member left regarding someone (individual) who made them for less than a boat unit. Please repost contact info.
Thanks,
Sid

Various styles of laundry bags work that can be found at such places as Ikea, KMart, etc...

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I am referring to the bag to leave the sail hanked on the forestay, with the mesh bottom.

Bob is great. Very quick turn around time and quality work. I'll put it to use over a 5 day cruise for Memorial Day. I would highly recommend Bob.
Now I just have to perfect using it so my crew doesn't have to look at me like I lost my mind.

Sid, here is the drill. Of course the idea is to leave the sail hanked on the forestay. I use a snap shackle on my sheets at the clew. You do want to take your sheets off the clew before you start. The easiest way to flake and fold a hanked on sail is to take the clew back along the cabin top between the shrouds and the mast, (when you get better you will not bother but is is the best place to learn). The sail must be flaked at the forestay and the best way for it to help the sail fit in the bag is if you pull every flake to the same side, do not alternate, it makes the folded sail too wide. Once you have that done you move to the clew and fold the foot UNDER, it hangs below the first flake fold. After you have the foot folded under you will pull back on the clew and you will see the flake folds appear toward the clew. You will grab the folds to "snap" them back to keep the flakes neat. Fold the clew toward the forestay. Fold forward about 15" to 18", now you have a nice square end to work with, continue to snap the flakes a few folds ahead of where you are holding the sail and continue to fold the flaked sail forward, in a moment you will be at the forestay and the sail will be sitting there in a stack. Now slide the bag under the stack with the long zipper open and facing up, and connect the bow clip of the sail bag to the bow stem. You may now pull the sides of the bag up and around the stacked sail, the bow clip keeps the bag in place so you can tug on it as you work it around the sail. Close the zipper around the forestay, hook the halyard to the back bail and lift the bag a few inches off the deck.

Once you get more comfortable you will do it here. Note the black velcro band going from around the end of the lifeline to the pulpit top. It is there so when I drop the sail (use a down haul) on while out on the water I can strap it to the lifeline and keep it down and in place.

One more fold to go.

Frank,

Thanks for a great write up and pictures which always help. That should be posted in the Tech Tips for all us newbies to read and learn. It sure beats just stuffing the jib in the bag until its full.

Happy sailing,

Bill

I've been using this method for quite a while now. But, instead of putting the sail in a bag hanging there I undo the hanks and fold the flakes on top of the folded part and slide it in my sailbag. When taken out of the bag it's ready to be hanked on in a hurry. Beats trying to fold a sail on a narrow concrete and windy dock. Great explanation with pictures, I kinda had to figure it out myself.

Et tu Paul? This is the method I used to bag sails before I got the deck bag as well. I have never folded sails anywhere but on a boat.
