Sail Repair

Does anyone know the name and number of people who fix panels of sails

I have an 1999 Ezzy that I bought second hand and I should probably replace all the panels.

I have phoned one person on Foul Bay Rd but I haven't managed to make contact him.

Can anyone recommend where to have sails fixed

Try Boson's Locker, downtown Victoria

Paul Betts down at Bosuns Locker is the best in my opinion. He has fixed my sails twice and the quality and price is excellent.

Where do you get Tuct tape?

Hey St- it's the red & black, very thin tape ($14/roll, make sure the roll edge is not damaged or it will forever tear where you don't want it to) that you can get at any reasonably large hardware store. They use it to seal moisture barrier and the white building wrap you see on framed new houses. Sticks like s*** to a blanket

but when you do get it off, there will be red residue forever.

Great for fixing sails if clean, washed and mega dry

, heat helps.

I have about 6 holes patched with tuck tape on that sail already. The largest of which runs the length of one panel because I put the nose my board through it.

I used windex to clean the surface and then applied tuck tape. It worked for awhile but it tore along the seam and the tuck tape is usless on the seam and that is why I need a repair.

I bought my tuck tape (red) at Crappy Tire (Candian Tire) for around $10. It works good on most rips.
