[quote=Edchris177][quote]I had a zippered sock made to cover my furled jib and use the halyard to hoist it up and that works pretty well too.[/quote]
If you have already paid for the sock, I would just use that again, & save $200.
If you store your Cat on dry land, the sock is pretty easy to use. Land/beach storage would be the preferred way, but I don't have that option at my place, the "shore" is armor stone, very Cat unfriendly.
I leave the cats on modified Seadoo lifts. When standing in the water between the bows, I can just barely reach the furler drum, to grab the tail of the jib halyard to tension/untension the jib. The only way to reach the jib clew,(& do up the sock) is to place a plank across the hulls to stand on, or keep a short step ladder on the dock. That got old real quick!
For me, leaving a step ladder in the lake, or walking the plank was a real PITA, so I did all 3 Cats with the UV strip.[/quote]
