HELP!!

[Papa Bruce]

I'm getting married and sailing off from my marina with my new bride on Saturday and our 115% genoa ripped horizontally along a seam across the entire sail and stopped at the UV cover yesterday in 20kt winds!! Can I patch with tape, get it sewn back together or do I need a new one? Can anyone get me a used one in a couple days!!! Yikes!

Your sail is done!! But check out some of the used sail lofts. You will need to know the dimensions of the sail.

Thanks Alan, I think! I really appreciate the leads. I'm on it today.

They don't sell used sails but the prices are good and delivery was quick:

We were happy enough with the genny we got from them we went and replaced our main with them the following year. I tried a few used options from a local loft but the new sails make a world of difference in performance and for any sail I plan to use regularly it's one of those things that I won't buy anything other than new again.

Good luck, and congratulations!
