[quote=Andinista][quote=niknot90882] I'm hoping it will speed up setup time and not having experience with a zippered luff i'm nervous that constantly uninstalling and re-installing the jib is just going to lead to failure of the zipper.[/quote]
It's not a common failure point in my experience, I wouldn't be concerned about that. A good tip to make the jib hoisting easier is to tie a lanyard to the zipper car and hook it somewhere on the bridle or adjuster, then you have both hands to pull the halyard and arrange the jib as it goes up, without having to hold the zippper.
[quote=niknot90882]It maybe a train wreck but I'm going try sewing my own out of a scrap piece of 16 mil polyethylene tarp. [/quote]
Make sure the tarp is UV resistant or it will disintegrate after some exposure.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by Andinista on Apr 23, 2020 - 10:29 AM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
