Thanks for all the thoughts. Speed Sails have some glue type stuff that
will do the job (which is probably like the sikaflex (apologies to the
Cherubs for not helping the cause)). I'll give that a go if it does not
work then it is off to Hammonds down in Dartford.

I have always found Hammond to be great - got my drysuit made and delivered to my nationals in a very short space of time. Also keep having to send mine and sis's back for repairs/alterations. They have always been helpful - but im not sure about the cost though. if its jsut a small hole you may as wel try and repair it and if that doesnt work then send it off.

Mayflower SC with the Larks. Got a bit cold on the Saturday after four
races so went out in nice warm DRY cloths on the Sunday. Probably
didn't need the drysuit although a wet cold smelly wetsuit on day two
is never inviting, but it was warm and dry up to the point of the
capsize, after which i just had a cold wet foot.
Dont think i got a patch but i will get onto the chanderlers to see if any of them can help me out. Anyone dealt with Hammonds for dry suit repairs? Sounds expensive sending it off? Thanks. |

If you dont want to do it your self then I can highly recomend Ravenspring in Devon, I've had nothing but fantastic service from them. I do have to ask the question, where are you sailing to need a dry suit at this time of year? |

When you bought your drysuit you usually get a small pack cotaining a couple of pieces of matching suit material. Simply buy some impact adhesive and following the instructions, stick a patch over the tear. You can also stick a patch on the inside just to be really sure it's watertight if you want. Also DON'T have square corners on the patch(es) as they'll lift and the patch could then peel off.

Capsized, went over the top, slipped down over the self bailer, put a hole in the leg of my dry suit. The hole is small, about 2mm square. Anyone know how i can repair this and make my dry suit dry?? Thanks in advance. |
