I used a 2 part marine epoxy from Home Depot.  If you can clamp the disks 
overnight; they will never come apart again.

Jim,
Happened to us as well a few years ago.  Just clean up the disks and sail with a 
little acetone and regule.  Unfortunately I don't remember which glue I used.

Great day sailing yesterday, but tore some things up. My 2000 320 is set up with 
the factory Dutchman system. Where the lines run through the sails, there are 
plastic grommets about 3 inches in diameter that keep the line from tearing the 
sails. In the 30 knot winds yesterday, two of these grommets came loose from the 
sail. Any idea how they are attached to the sail? Any suggestions for a better 
replacement?  Thanks for your help. Dream Weaver, Lake Ozark, Missouri.
