a few of the patches at the back of my battens are loose and flutter in the wind, while looking at that I also noticed that the C22 logo is starting to come off.

also, what is the best way to patch a very small hole in the main, I attached two pics with my thumb in the for size reference.

Batten reinforcement patches are usually sewn down.

That tiny hole could be taped, i think.

A friend with one of the Sailrite machines could reattach those loose pieces with either stitch pattern. The "thumb" pictures seem to include spatter marks. :confused: Did some nasty chemical get spritzed on the sail? :confused: Sail tape will be fine for the individual hole, but not for a large area if there is a wider area of damage.

Although I have a Sailrite and have built my own bimini & sailpack with it, you can get away with sewing sails on a home machine if you use a heavier needle and thread and take your time with it. We did it years ago on my wife's old Singer before I got the Sailrite.
