after sailing the feva a year like every weekend and generally giving the sail merry hell theres rips in the clew area of the sail.

i tried some repair tabe but it keeps falling off so i now tape the edges with good old gaffa tape.

 

yea it works and i now have a new sail for rasing only but is there a tape out there that works and is athsetically pleasing.

grey gaffa tape really isnt easy on the eye

No there isnt mate, best to get a sailmaker to repair it properly.  I use Lynall boats in Cheltenham and they send it to a local sailmaker.  Suprisingly its dirt cheap for small repairs and even large ones arnt to bad.

 

Good luck
