Just another thought on your jib because all the information or advice you received seemed correct:

If you furl your jib on a furling system and leave it sitting in the sun, you really cause a lot of damage to it. I thought the 6.0 had a batten in it near the top which makes it difficult to put a snorkel on it, but keeping the UV rays off it will help a lot.

If you take it off the boat after sailing, make sure it's dry and either rolled or flaked properly; you'll extend the life a bunch.

Smooth waters,
