I have an old I14 and Cat which both have delamination on one of their smaller panels (approx 50cm by 50cm). I was wondering if anyone knows the best way, short of sending it to a sail repair loft, to fix it?

Many thanks

Short of replacement of the affected area, I'm not sure there's much you can do.

As Paul said, replacement is the only real option. And if part of it has let go, the rest probably isn't far behind. The problem is the bits that go first are usually high load areas, so any repair has to withstand the loads too.
