[Rhodes22-list] need help with shredded main sail

[Arthur H. Czerwonky]

Pete,
I don't know any loft that can do a sail for that price.  Given the short fuze, call Stan and get one of his sails expressed.  One of the skippers can probably talk you thru rigging it into the mast - Rummy is the best.  I hope you cen get up and sailing by weekend.  Also - re. possible temp repair of your old sail, post a picture - mark the damaged areas.  Maybe one of the skippers can judge if it is even possible.  Always post pictures with your distress call!
Chow,
Art
