[quote=MN3]i've used all sorts of tape (packaging, sail repair, spin repair, duck, gorrilla, wild turkey, crazy sticky sheets of tape, etc) on torn sails and windows. all fine for the short term - but they all fade, crack and fail with use and exposure
homemade sail repairs are only as good as the skills and execution used to make the repairs
if you want the repair to last dozens of uses in the future - let a pro do it when it counts
i am a big fan of supporting my local chandler, riggers and sail lofts when i can for things i am not an expert in and need a lasting solution ... or i learn the skill before it's used on my wind-throttle . a new window should cost somewhere's near $100. good price to pay for the right repair. and you can take advantage of that time building a relationship with your sail maker, keep his loft open,, and you can ask lots of questions about sail shape and trim[/quote]
