Choose a sailmaker convenient for you to carry out the repairs. They will send the sails to a laundry. Most likely to Tiptop Sail laundry , who don't deal direct with the public. Many cover makers also do sail repairs and send sails to a laundry. Some chandleries will also sent sails to the laundry.

I last used Covercare in Thornham marina.

There is a list of " partners " on Tiptop's website

I used a Arun Sails some years ago. I can't remember any problems

Arun have gone from their old Bosham location . Now in Royal Clarence Yard , Gosport

Batt Sails near Bosham are a helpful lot, worth a try if they're handy to you.

there was a chap sailing around itchenor last week with his little lad putting cards on peoples boats. i chatted to him, he is a sailmaker and repairer/ cleaner based in emsworth. I have left the card on the boat so dont know his name but i should imagine there might even be one on your boat. he seemed a nice chap but obviously i dont know anything else about him. if there isnt a card on your boat, someone else in the harbour might know

You might find the marina office have a local cleaner which they know picks up sails from their store. As has been said local chandleries sometimes know people who will do small repairs and they will send off to the cleaners for you and have a weekly collection arrangement with the cleaners such as Tiptop as mentioned. I don't know if any chandleries still operate in the Chi marina still but last time I looked Force 4 were just up the road so might know of a repairer local to area or you could ask at the Emsworth marina .

+1. Used him for mine last year. Launder and new sacrificial strip plus a few other bits - very pleased with the service.

Thank you for all the suggestions. Will probably try Batt sails.
