[quote=LeelanauH18]I'll post a picture this evening. I'm not sure of the weight of the sock material - it's very light, and I don't think I'd trust it for this repair.
There's no racing nearby for me so I'm just looking for a fix that will be durable enough to get me through the season, and doesn't further weaken the sail in the process. Planning to replace the sail this winter.
The damage occurred sometime after a rather vicious pitch pole which forced us ashore to check everything (and ourselves) over. Once in we intentionally capsized to get the main down and I suspect the tear happened when a couple battens got caught in the sand. Decided to sail the 2 miles home (downwind) bare pole, which only took 15 minutes. Winds had built to 20 gusting to near 30 and shifty, and I don't care to be out in that stuff on this boat again.[/quote]
