Q1: Is this the way to go?

Q2: What is suggested for a jibsail cover? Does anyone know of a pattern so that I can make my own?

just had a new mainsail cover made this spring. cost me $170.00.
i guess the savings would be in how much you value your time.

I'm having a mainsail cover made by a local canvas seamstress for $115 based on my measurements. She mostly does covers for powerboats but has done sailcovers before. I'll let you know how it turns out.
