Bought my dream boat this fall (1995 17 sport), and got to take it out a few times before it got cold here in Michigan. However, the main sails are clearly tired. The sweet squaretop main is a lost cause, but I was curious if anyone has had any luck repairing the original sail? There are two rips, around 10'' in length. there appears to be a middle layer of cloth sandwiched by the laminate that could probably be sewn to, but I am not sure if it is heavy enough to support a repair. Figured I would ask if it is even possible before I buy supplies. Really, I am looking for a cheap option to sail through next summer, and hopefully save up to buy a nice new sail.
Or, maybe some of the racers out there have some beater sails laying around they part with? (Yes, I made a separate WTB classifieds post)
Thanks guys!
