Hole in Sail
Author Last Post

Doug,

 

Thanks.  I bought some InCom SailPatch sail repair tape from Defender and plan to place a piece over the hole on each side of the sail.

 

Depending how it works, I may send the sail to you over the winter for a more permanent repair.

If only 1x1 and in the low load area of the luff you could put an insignia sticky patch on each side about 3” x 3”.   The sail shop near you should have this and I’m sure would sell a piece for cheap. 

Sewing on a patch is great and preferred, but not always needed. This sticky patch is the same material the class logo and #’s are cut from. They last the life of the sail.

Tonight was my first sail of the season, and I found a small hole in the sail, about 1 inch by 1 1/2 inches, near the luff and about 1/3 of the way up. It may have been caused by a mouse but there is no other mouse evidence.


I assume I can have a patch sewn over the hole. There is a shop near us that does that type of repair.
