Is there an easy way to do this? I'm keen to minimize uv exposures, even with the cover that doesn't seem to last long. |

You would need to have your jib remade with a zipper luff. Then you would need a long line (twice forestay length or so) route the line up to the upper swivel and back down the forestay through the zipper luff. As you hoist the jib, you close the zipper, once up, you flake the excess line and store inside the zipper. To remove jib, just untie the line (halyard) and pull down while opening the zipper. |

I bought a sailcloth snorkel for my jib cover. Much more durable than the cheesy woven plastic snorkel Hobie provided. |
