[C320-list] Sail Repair Annapolis

[Warren Updike]

Brad, if the tear is not in a high load location and you want to postpone
it, perhaps until the fall, you may be able to repair it with sail tape.
You can get it at WM.  It's cloth with adhesive.  You can wrap it around the
bolt rope and up over the tear.  You can overstitch it by hand if you think
it needs the added strength.

I discovered a tear on the foot of my main while bending the sails on this
year.  Its not major, but I want to get it fixed without interrupting my
sailing schedule.  I know!  Most lofts are up to their eyeballs in the
spring.

Anyone have any good recommendations on lofts that have done this type of
work, "quickly" ?

The bigger lofts don't really care about the smaller repairs unless there
are like 12 racing sails being purchased.

I found the following on Google ...

Tara Quinn
North Sail Repair
Sail Menders (a bit far....for me anyway)

Others or personal experience?  I am looking to drop at the beginning of the
week and pick up later in the week.

Thanks in Advance!!!!
