Found my invoice. Mine was purchased in May 2008. Cost $994, plus local
tax of $82 ($1076 total). The pack came from South Africa, but there was no
freight charge to get it to the local Quantum loft. They also removed the
old stack pack and installed the new one, included in that price.
FYI, my Quantum pack was ordered in Sunbrella Marine Blue, which is an
almost perfect match for the blue that Baracoutta uses in the original
Seawind canvas, which is not Sunbrella.

How much do the Quantum covers run and then freight?

I also switched to a Quantum Stack pack when our original cover began
to rot. The Quantum is a huge improvement.

After 12 years of continuous duty I changed both sail cover and bimini
spring. I probably should have done it a couple of years ago for cosmeticsame
reasons but they were still working well. I changed the mainsail cover
because
it was starting to rot mid-boom an inch or so from the zipper; and the
bimini
because the edges were starting to fray (and I wanted to have both the
color: Captain Navy, very smart). Don't save on the material, go forwhat
Sunbrella
or equivalent.

Thanks to all who responded. One thing that has not been addressed was
kind of lifestill
expectancy one might get from a cover. There is a point when repairs may
not do
well and it is
more economic to replace the unit. What are your experiences. This
questions
is more directed
to owners who have their boat longer.
Thanks to all

Steve,
Sail makers will do it as well as some canvas shops. Our cover seems to
be
the thing that takes the most abuse on the boat. So we do a lot of
repairs
till we cave in and take it to a place to make major repairs.
A trick to saving the plastic zipper from sun damage is to sew a 2 inch
flap
the full length of the zipper that will lay over it. (These zippers

It's a time to re-think the design of your bag by looking at dozens of
other
boats for ideas to make yours even better.
I'm not sure where you are located.

Has anyone needed to replace their main sail cover yet. If so how, did
you
go about it?
Any info on prices and locations would be appreciated.
Thanks
