I was wondering if anyone has tried any specific foil bags for the blade? Matt had some covers made that keep them clean but was thinking about maybe a bag with some padding. Murrays has some foil bags but of course none for the Balde. I think the Nacra 20 might fit, or even might try to find some one local.

I use a pair of sweat pants. One leg per foil.

Tback has a "fancy pants designer denim" rig.

I made ours from headliner fabric and vinyl. I'll have to show them to you some time..before that we just wrapped them in sheets.

I have made foil bags from waterproof felt.
Very tough and provided excellent protection.


I know that the voices in my head aint real,
but they have some pretty good ideas.
There is no such thing as a quick fix and I've never had free lunch!

Go to Ross (or any other discounter), buy oversized baggy blue jeans (like the rappers wear). Works great andshould cost less than $7 per pair. I cinch the ankles up with a plastic tie wrap

I used second hand advertising fabric for this. Designed and cut by me the bag has closed cell foam sewn in. Note polymer suitcase handel fromlocal emporium.
My sailmake sewed for me. Total owes me $20

I bought the Murray's bags for dagger boards and rudders for my 2006 Blade.
Got the Tiger size for both. Fit is fine, quality is good.
