Consider making your own Sailrite Genoa Sleeve kit as your primary method of protecting a furled sail against the elements. The Genoa Sleeve protects the sail from pollution and UV while allowing a sailor to get the maximum performance out of the sail, since the traditional UV sacrificial cover which is sewn on the leech and foot is no longer required. There is no need to add extra lashings because the Sailrite Genoa Sleeve comes with an ingenious lacing system that almost entirely eliminates the possibility of flogging in strong winds. A flogging genoa sleeve will quickly deteriorate, typically in less than a year leaving your sail exposed, that is no longer the case with the new Sailrite Genoa Sleeve kit.
