[Rhodes22-list] Sail repair

[R22RumRunner at aol.com]

Ted,
The simple answer is go ahead and repair it yourself. If it should fail  
then you will have the option of repairing it again or taking it to a sail 
loft  and have them fix it correctly.

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
