A Sunfish sailboat cover from SLO Sail and Canvas gets a field review after years of use, including survival through a Category 3 hurricane.2:17 Kent Blair chose Pacific Blue Sunbrella fabric for its breathability — Sunbrella sheds debris but is not fully waterproof, which suits covered storage by allowing condensation to escape and preventing mildew.1:00 A fully waterproof material like Top Gun suits different storage situations where water intrusion is the primary concern.1:30 The cover includes a reinforced forward panel to store spars on deck under the cover; the mast and booms create a ridge that sheds water and prevents cockpit pooling.0:45 Blair advises against leaving a sail rolled on the boat for more than a few days, as trapped moisture promotes mildew.2:07 During Hurricane Sally, bow and stern lines run through the cover straps kept multiple Sunfish from floating away in three-foot tidal surge; the cover sustained chafe marks but held.2:48 Blair also notes Sunbrella wears quickly at corners during long-distance trailering.1:37 A quality cover keeps the hull clean and ready, but critters — in this case a squirrel — will exploit any open storage compartment within days.5:28
