Gary,
even those who cruise a good deal around the coast, will stay most of the time at anchor or in the marina (or on the trailer). With a half-decent sail cover, the Odyssey should last for a good while. However, I think that is on the heavy side for sails in the 20sqm category, or below that. I noticed that the 20sqm sail for my ‘Frøken Sørensen’ could be a bit reluctant to inflate its panels properly in very light winds. The 35sqm sail of my present ‘Ingeborg’, taken from the same roll of Odyssey III, does much better.

I therefore suggest you look for some lighter cloth for the JR of a TS16, say 150g/sqm or 4oz.
good luck!

If all goes to plan and Murphy doesn't known about, I should have my next boat in April. it will of course be converted to JR with the Arne designed TS16 sail. Which I will of course make myself, but the question is what material to use? The sail area is about 16.8 sqm.

My Odyssey lll sail has held up very well but it hasn't done any long trips so overall UV exposure is probably quite low.

I quite like Weathermax.

Opinions?
