Sail Repaired

Last weekend you may remember we got a tear in our 135 genoa. Rather than take it to a sail loft we ordered parts and set about the task of repairing the genos. We ordered 3 inch width adhesive backed dacron sail fabric, sail thread, and got some rubbing alcohol. First we cleaned the sail with the alcohol, then cut the dacron to size (and rounded the corners) and stuck the dacron tape to both sides of the sail. The final step was to sew the dacron to the sail. It all went smoothly. Now all we need to do is test the sail. Thanks to Yolande for her superior sewing skills.
