Jib Snorkel/ Cover  Bottom

  • The old Hobie snorkel that came with my boat (H21sc) has disintegrated and with a new jib I feel the urge to keep it protected for a while. Does anyone have a recommendation for a jib snorkels ? It looks like most range from $120 to $150. I'm leaning towards the SLO made out of the Top Gun material but at nearly $165 after shipping it's a hard pill to swallow.

    Alternatively, if anyone knows any sail-makers or upholsterers in the Tampa bay area that they would recommend I wouldn't mind exploring that as an option.
  • If you have an old jib or sail to cut, you can cover the jib with another "jib". Not sure if it makes a lot of sense but if you have that worn out sail it will be cheap... I did a sort of combination, I sewed my own snorkel but those zippers are too expensive to buy the full length, so I got about half with zipper and for the rest I kept a triangle that I roll and tie. Kind of weird to hoist a second sail, but it is actually a bit simpler and faster.
