We received a spar and sail cover from SLO Sail and Canvas today, it's nice...but more about that later. In the box was a flyer on the type of thread used in construction of the cover, Tenara. A few of the highlights, which are important to consider when spending money on a cover, or sail.
-Seams are often the number 1 failure point failure point. Gore Tenara thread will not stain, mold, mildew or discolor.
-Tenara is available in various colors, including clear.
-Tenara offers the highest UV protection.
-If Tenara fails, Gore will refund the cost of the thread and pay for the article to be restitched.
Threads and fabric are not an area to go cheap, and the return on investment is an article that will last years or decades longer.
Now get out there and make some sails...and covers for the sail. We get our materials from SailRite.
Cheers
Clark and Skipper
