This year we purchased a new mainsail for our 41 ' Dickerson ketch. We are trying to decide if we should stay with a traditional main sailcover like we have had for 28 years. Or should we switch to a SailPack or Lazy Cradle type of cover? We already have lazy jacks in place. We wonder if the Sailpack is as easy as it looks even for a heavy 10oz main? Or does it create xtra windage? Let us know what you recommend for a 16 ' boom.

We made a new sail cover last year - and like Daria, we did not include slots for the lazy jacks. (Our first effort at sewing anything - so let 's keep it simple!)
The cover looks great and with the lazy jacks pulled forward to the mast, the whole boat looks a lot more sleek!
