My club uses the big inflatable marks that we all know and love for racing. We take them to a local place to get them repaired when they get a leak or a ring comes off, etc. They charge an arm and a leg for this. It seems to me it ought to be simple enough to patch them ourselves. Do any of you club racers patch your own marks? If so, how? Is there a kit?

Our marks are PVC covered fabric, just like inflatable dinghys. We use the same PVC patching kits sold for dinghys.
