[Rhodes22-list] Sail Cover Specs

[iweb86 at aol.com]

With all the material I have purchased so far, It may bring me to full price for the cover. :-)
 
Also I have wanted to make this as a project. Not that I am lacking for projects. Can you possibly give a measurement as to the height I should use at the mast?
 
Thanks for the offer. I will keep it in mind.

we have a pile of old sail covers and they are available for nothing - the catch is contribute $45 to our high cost of packing and getting to a UPS depot and then paying UPS. 
 
send shipping address if anyone any interest.

>>I am in the process of continuing to make a sail cover for my Rhodes and >>could use some help with the measurements. I have had the boat for going >>into my 7th season and started this project the first year. In the past I >>would take the sail off the boom each time I sailed. 
>> 
>>Now this may give a hint in that I do not have an IMF mast. 
>> 
>>My biggest question is, How tall should I make it at the mast? 
>> 
>>I have some instructions from Sailrite and their 10' sail cover has a 46" >>height. This seems to be very high. I do not have my boat stepped so it is >>difficult for me to know for sure. I have added the dia of the boom and >>sail along with the distance from the boom to the mast track opening and >>get a figure of 24" which seems more reasonable to me. If there is anyone >>who has a cover or their mast stepped that they could give me a >>measurement from I would be very appreciative. 
>> 
>>This has actually been a very long process which I believe may have >>started with taking measurement at one time. I had purchased a piece of >>sunbrealla. (We have a place up here in Maine that has Sunbrella seconds >>very cheap.) I went to start cutting a piece I had bought a while back and >>came to the conclusion that I had only enough for one side. So I went to >>get more last week and after getting home and re looking at the specs. >>think I may have had what I need in the first place. So as you see I could >>use some help. Best part is since I have so much material, I may be making >>a couple of these so I will get some practice. 
>> 
>>As to catch everyone up on the work on my boat, I have done quite a bit to >>it over the years. Some of you may remember It is a 1972 the I bought >>abandoned. I have bought new sails, rigging(well used from Stan), Engine >>(well used from MJM), made some modifications, repairs and painted it a >>great Navy Blue. And after a couple of years even gave it a name, Her name >>is Pleiades. All for under half of what a new one would have cost. It >>certainly has been a lot of fun especially the sailing. 
>> 
>>Again, I am glad to see all is well and I wish you all the best and a >>great sailing season.
