Had a bit of carnage - way overpowered on the 5.0 at wanda on sunday - ended up with a sail that was looking pretty sad







Monday - gave it to Neil at Barracouta and it was ready this morning looking like a new sail





If you are not on the southside you can drop your broken gear with WindSurfNsnow - good time of year to check out the shop while you are there too - so much great gear - wish my accountant would let me spend more.

I don't think you needed to go to that extreme to depower your sail.....You could have just tried more downhaul?

Hey Mike, did they replace all the monofilm? Like you say, it looks brand new!

looks like they did a great gob. Just the clean job was worth it, really does look like new.

Yes - Neil did all 3 panels

The bottom panel had been replaced before but had a season since then and would have looked old next to the new ones so felt it was worth doing the lot

An intact panel can be replaced pretty much perfectly by overlaying with the new and then using a blade to remove the old panel after stitching new on in place
