[quote=DamonLinkous]The Aluminum solid rivets are the proper way if you have the skills, never tried it so not sure how hard it would be seems like you would need to clamp the two plates to the sail to keep them in place while you pound each rivet.
The screws are a simple fix and always available at the local hardware store.
I've fixed a main clew plate that fell off on the beach by using aluminum pop-rivets, planning to replace them later with something better but kept using it like that for a couple more years until the boat sold, as far as I know they are still going strong.[/quote]
