Title: Sail Covers
Post by: rdcvsmith on July 11, 2011, 03:54:41 PM
I wanted to give some props (proper respect that is, not propellers!) to Lee Sail Covers.

http://www.leesailcovers.com/

I got a custom measured sail cover, a head sail bag, a tiller cover & 2 winch covers for $240 plus $10 shipping. Don't know about a lot of other custom shops, but I know West Marine wanted $350 for their 8 foot sail cover alone

Lee Sail Covers use a fabric called WeatherMax80.

The specs and PR show it comparable to sunbrella, it is suppose to be very breathable and I can attest that is is very lightweight and stows easily. Obviously only time will tell about the material.

I really like the "bang for the buck" I got with their products. I called in regard to the head sail bag and my genny. I spoke directly with Becky Randolph who makes everything there. SO NICE AND PLEASANT to talk to!

I chose the burgundy:

Ray-  Lookin' real good!!!   Sounds like you've been really enjoying your new boat. The color compliments the boat well. That seems like a very good price too.

I've dealt with Lee Sail Covers before. The quality is always good and price is reasonable. The Weathermax material seems to last a long time as well, possibly longer than Sunbrella. By the way, they have been known to reduce prices on a group order for the same pieces. 3 or more could do it.
