My H26 has its original Doyle sail. Six of the sail slugs are held with shackles through grommets. Four of the slugs are sewn into nylon webbing. When webbibg was used, the sail had some type of seam or reinforcement in the area. I had an accidential jibe and blew out several slugs, including two "webbed in" ones. I've had the boat for three years and don't know how old the sail shackles and slugs are, so I'm replacing them all. With the webbing, I'm probably looking at a trip to a sailmaker. I don't have the necessary sewing machine and don't want to hand stitch 4 webs. I would like to ask the group whether it would be advisable to remove the webbing and replace them with grommets or stick with the webbing? Installing grommets would allow me to later replace the sail slugs without a trip to the sailmaker. I would get a sailmaker to install the grommets initially. What do ya'll think? Thanks, BrianW
