Reply to: Sail repair advice - small tear in leech

[quote=samc99us]A picture is worth a thousand words. What weight material is the snuffer sock? At the sail loft we would pin the sail, cut the torn section out completely and sew in a complete new section. The leech is highly loaded so preference is given to replacing the laminate with similar/exact same material sail was built with to begin with. Re-reading your post it sounds like your sail is nearly done, that is where mains fail first. Best option is replacing as much as possible. Your repair will work fine in dacron but the stretch characteristics won't match that of the original sail at all. Fine for a cruising main.[/quote]
