I know it's been discussed here probably until it's blue in the face but lets talk about it again right quick. I am thinking about having a custom jib bag made with a screen at the bottom for drainage. I will be keeping my Precision 165 on a slip and would love to just keep the hanked on jib/genoa stuffed during the weekend while I am there and flaked and in the bag and raised off the deck when I am not there.

I work from home so there will be weeks where I will just stay on the boat and work from there via my laptop so for those weeks I might just sail more often and if needed I can take the jib out of the bag to air out if not used.

I have heard both...don't do it and sure, do it for I do. Thoughts?

i keep my genoa hanked on in a bag in season the big thing is to use the halyard to lift the bag off the deck the jib will be happier for it not sitting in water

I designed and sewed a bag for my working jib with Phifertex as the bottom panel. Jib has been in it for something like ten years now, during all seasons, suspended at the end by the jib halyard, as White74 suggests. No problem at all.

Look in the books by Don Casey for tips how to sew stuff like that. Not rocket science!
