Is a 15Inch rip in a Byte CII mainsail repairable?

I ask because I want to claim it on insurance and the company wants to know and estimate of how much a repair would cost, if a 15 Inch trear in a Mylar sail is possible who would do this?
Would I have to sent it off to Pinbax/North or simular.
Its a Neilpryde sail but dont know if they have a repair shop?

If you have claimed on your insurance they will want you to send it to a sail maker for an estitmate, looking at that its fairly minor and i wouldn't bother with a claim.  Speak to someone like P&B ad send it off to them explain its a cash repair and i suspect it won't cost you more then £50

I'd repair that in roughly 15-20 mins and charge you around £25

Thats only very minor damage from what I can see in the photo

Just a simple patch.

I'd cut a new bit of cloth to just larger than the damaged area. Then put seaming tape around the edges. Stick it over the damaged area on one side of the sail. Check that it hasn't affected the sails shape and then stich it down. Then its just a case of using a very sharp pair of scissors to cut away the damged area and job done.

Thats been fussy! I'd just go with the option mentioned, thats peanuts for a repair, after all no repair is going to be seamless and not notice on a sail.
