This past spring I noticed that my 135 jib was showing signs of UV deterioration. (It's a fact that Catalina's UV protection is somewhat lacking and lasts only a few years)I struggled for a few weeks deciding whether to go for a new sail or have a UV strip sewn onto the sail. My local sail maker advised against the strip as the strip would be so much heavier than the sail itself and severely compromise sail shape in light air. He also thought that the sail was beyond that point anyway. I guess I figured that I know more about sails than a sail maker and that I could get a few more seasons out of the sail by having a jib sock made to protect against further damage. Well, my sail blew out and I had to spring for another (with a UV panel). I am now offering a jib sock for sale that was used only for about 8 weeks. I spent $179 to have it made and will take $100 for it on this site before going the ebay route. Anyone interested please contact me at jlannutti@comcast.net or this site.

Jay, be aware that when you put a "true" e-mail address in a post, the spammers' harvesting systems that scan web pages will spot it and pick it up. There are two ways to prevent this:
1. Have people use the

icon above your post, or...
2. Type your address with the word "at" in it, to make it unrecognizable and unusable as-is for automated harvesting systems.

Option 1 was put there for this reason--it keeps your address from being viewable or harvestable.

To txbigfoot,
No, I'm sorry. Someone had already contacted me regarding the cover.. If that deal falls through for any reason, which is most unlikely, I will contact you.

This is where I got a sock for my 135% genoa. I have only been using it a couple of months but so far I have no complaints about it.

Now that I'm going with roller furling, I guess I need one of these too. I have a tall rig as well, does anyone know how many feet that will be? The Lee cover looks good. They say:

<blockquote id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">$149.95 up to 22 feet. Add $10.00 per foot over 22'. Please e-mail circumference needed upon ordering.

Your forstay on the tall rig is 31'10". I would guess you would subtract some for the furler drum. Probably easer to attach a tape measure to your halyard and run it up to the top.
