[Rhodes22-list] Mast cover

[Michael D. Weisner]

Art,

You need to sail more if your sails are becoming mildewed.  Covers may only 
increase the problem due to moisture buildup.

Now you have a perfect excuse to sail regularly.  Also, try not to furl when 
sail is soaking wet (just sail longer to dry it out.)
