25/03/2025 Topic: Advice on Lee Cloths bweigel2@gmail.com Administrator	copied from discontinued forum: Can anyone advise on materials, design etc especially if based on experience of usage. We will be setting of on circumnavigation for the UK and will therefore be heading to warmer climes. My questions are: Choice of fabric? How long ie should head area be enclosed? Is it better to have fixings above outboard to give more security? Installation method. Anything else we might find useful. Boat is a 1992 Moody 44. Slightly curved berths on either side, port access restricted by table. Trotter box on starboard. Many thanks Maggie edited by bweigel2@gmail.com on 25/03/2025 edited by bweigel2@gmail.com on 25/03/2025 edited by bweigel2@gmail.com on 25/03/2025
