Spray hood worn

[Magic_Sailor]

Occasionally....just occassionally I've forgotten to tighten up the topping lift before I've dropped the main. Consequently when SWMBO goes forward to flake it, she leans on the boom and it's rubbed on the back edge of the spray hood a bit.

Anyone know if you can buy a "tape" of sprayhood material with a sticky back to effect a small repair and provide a bit of reinforcement - should I ever forget in the future!

Have seen the sort of repair kit you are after in a camping shop.

Sail repair tape usually provides a short term solution. I have found it best to have patches sewn onto the wear points. Hand repairs are fine but it looks much better if a machine is used.

Re:Happens to me

when the second reef goes in. If your hard on the wind the boom rubs the sprayhood.

I've got mine home to repair at the moment. I've not found a self adhesive tape that lasts long.

Got matching coloured Duct tape on mine . . . lasts a season then comes off.
