Rich,  if you have ordered the FCL sails, be aware that the lazy bag as you have seen it in above photos is way too small.
You have to really push the sail in and the zipper is then under high tension. Elvström has made me aware that this is the way to destroy theFCL  mainsail.
 
I would also order the lazy bag locally with a good fitting cover around the mast. It will be cheaper than a new Elvström main sail.

Hi Frank,
I've asked my dealer about the standard lazy bag fitting with the fcl sails and he told me that it is perfectly fitting.
I will check again with him but it would be helpful to get feedback from other members who are experiencing the same issue.
I will open another thread.
Cheers,
Richard

Hi Maurizio, I almost forgot to get back to you on the mast steps thing. For the 345 they are definitively not standard and somehow less important compared to bigger boats. My dealer has confirmed that they will be installed if I require them. Remembering what you said about your dealer I guess that this the approach they take every time.
Cheers,

Richard

Hi Richard,

fancy that .. today I had to use them for the first time ... So do get them, you never know.

Btw I went out with a weather forecast of 3-4 kts, mentally ready for a snooze, but soon got 17-18 - quite nice with my 345

Bye,

Maurizio

Lucky you...I really can't wait!

I have found this


It's a bimini top from NV equipment which apparently covers only the helm's area, behind the boom hence it doesn't create hassle when sailing; but it has a comfortable extension that covers the rest of the cockpit when mooring.

Has anyone had any experience with NV equipment?

This looks like a sensible idea, better than a full cover
