I am interested to know if anyone has chosen to have their Hylas wrapped as opposed to repainting with Awlgrip or similar products. Our black hull is now due to be addressed.

I am trying to evaluate the cost difference between the two procedures knowing the the wrap is probably less durable that of a painted finish.

Thanks in advance for your input

We installed a Tides system on our previous boat, a Morgan 43. It worked perfectly for the 10 years we used it. I would buy it for our h46 if it did not have in mast furling. JR

We have the white plastic Selden slides on our main secured by webbing.  Every few years they start to break.

I'm considering a Tides Strong Track or Harken system.  Any experience/recommendations?

Headroom is great.  Dinghy shading is great. Output is good. Would be nice to have added a fifth panel but the
