SAILS
Check the sails regularly, as the slightest wear in the stitching or at a reinforced part can
very quickly have dramatic consequences. Keep a small sail repair kit on board and a
book showing how to carry out minor work yourself until you can get the job done by a
professional sail maker.
Keep a special eye on points where the sails can chafe on the rigging or fittings -
turnbuckles, lifelines, shrouds, spreaders, etc.
Salt water and sunshine take their toll on sails. Whenever possible, rinse the sails in fresh
water and leave them stretched out (preferably on a lawn) to dry. Never dry a sail by
hoisting it and letting it flog in the wind; this will very quickly cause the sail to deteriorate.
Never fold and store a damp sail.
