Recut or Replace
Bill, If the sail is so old(8-10years) or worn that the cloth is very soft it is probably not worth recutting. A recut on an old sail will not lasts very long as the cloth will continue to stretch and distort. If the cloth is still a bit firm recuts are a good way to extend the life of the sail. Generally I recommend recutting a sail once after it is a few years old. This will improve performance for a year or two before it needs to be replaced.Thanks,Bill ColomboDoyle Sailmakers
