Spinnaker Repair using a Patch

www.sailrite.co... This video demonstrates how to repair a rip in a spinnaker or Asymmetrical sail using a patch. One of the best ways to repair ripstop nylon fabric is to use the same fabric weight for a patch and cut it to size (about 1" larger than the rip or hole) and then sew it on. In this video we will show you how a typical rip is made to a spinnaker.

Thank you. Clear on the instructions.

Congratulations for the work! One question, is this double-sided tape the usual one on paper, or some specific tape? Thank you.

[@SailriteDIY]

The double sided tape is unlike any other. It is specially made for sail cloth from a mylar film adhesive. Here is a link: www.sailrite.com/Seamstick-3-8-Basting-Tape-60-Yds
