Sorry to hear of the snapped mast BUZZ. Sound more serious than an aging sail. I imagine nobody was hurt? |

You don't say how old your sail is... Maybe you should start saving for a new one? |

If you've got small wear points then cutting pieces from a sail number gives a much neater job than duct tape.

Sounds just like delamination to me? Does the cloth look like its bubbling?
Just means the sail is getting old mate... as far as I know theres nothing that can be done... laminate sails last longer without stretching than dacron but once they start to fail they tend to go downhill very quickly. |
