Trimming sails

[jimi]

I trim my sails a lot in heavy weather, but find it a real pain sewing all the bits back on when the wind drops. Anybody got a better idea?

Velcro?

Next time you put them back together, use zips. Then you wil end up with sails that you can match to any weather conditions. They might be heavy, though.

How about elastic sails, so you can stretch them to the desired size?

Or don't go sailing in heavy weather anymore.

Or stick to the engine.

Or hire a sailmaker to do it for you

Still not using the modern inflatable sails then?

Sounds like it's all getting a bit much for you. Have you considered selling your boat?
