[quote=P.M.][quote=MN3]what are UV strips?[quote]I paid $145, but that included restitching around the clew plate, & adding the UV strips to the jib.

Andrew, UV protective strips, also referred to as sacrificial cloth. You see them at any marina you go to. It is the colored fabric on the leading edge of the headsail. When the sail is furled, the protective cloth prevents the sail from the degrading due to UV light. On beach cats, Murrays sells the snorkel to do the same thing. In EdChris's case, it makes sense, since his boat is stored mast up all the time with the jib on. Less of a hassle than the snorkel or removing the jib. Others are happy to simply remove the jib each time.[/quote]
