When I took the mainsail off last winter the stack pack bag had some tears in, over winter I replaced the fabric that wrapped around the foot of the main inside the boom slot, but the rest still looked a bit scruffy, and I was never totally happy with the angle of the jack lines.

While doing this temporary fix I measured the old bag to use as a template. It’s on the boom now giving me the chance to make a total replacement at home using new fabric and a huge zip.

So far, its set me back about £55 for all thr fabric, zip and webbing straps I’ll use, plus £40 for some new dyneema jack lines that I hope to fit this weekend

Fingers crossed that I don’t mess up replacing the old ones.
