[Rhodes22-list] Sail repair

[Theodore Boender]

Rhodies,

So a few weeks ago, as I mentioned previously, I found myself in some pretty gusty winds. It appears that the tab that holds the head of the genoa to the GBI furling frayed and is no longer able to hold the sail up on the head stay. See picture.

Is this a repair I should try to tackle myself by sewing on a nylon tab?

The admiral is pretty handy with a sewing machine. 

Sending the sail to a repair shop will leave me on the hard for a few weeks. I'd like to avoid that. The water is calling me...
 
Cheers,
Ted
