Reconditioning My Genoa

Post by IaSailor »

I have a 24inch tear in the leech of my Genoa. Where can I send this sail to get stitched up and cleaned/re-siezed?

I would consider looking up Bill@boats4sail. He is a member here on this board and has done sail work such as slug and reef point instalations. I don't think I have ever heard a negative comment about his services in over hundreds of posts from people who have delt with him. He also runs a banner add on this website, so you can find and click on it.

His website is

Alternatively, you can ignore it, let it catch on the spreaders and turn into a 10 foot long gash.

Then order a new genoa from Bill like me

Bill is a great suggestion - he's tops in Macs. However if for some reason Bill is unable to do your repair, you could use SailCare... I've had good work done there.

Hi,

http://www.sailcare.com

I've sent them a couple sails over the years. They come back almost like new. Prices are right, as long as you don't let them talk you into extras you don't really need or want. Just have them clean/re-resin the sail and make the repair.
