Oops! Like I said to the other (wrong) post. You'll not regret a new EP sail any day. They are over the top in quality and not all that expensive. Bob & Dave are right.

To: montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com Date: Tuesday, April 13, 2010, 1:57 AM Over the weekend I managed to tear the mainsail on my mid 1980's Montgomery 15. I haven't been able to bear to inspect it closely yet but I think 2 seems about halfway up the sail tore about halfway from the leech to the luff. I wonder what options I have. The sail is fairly worn and is red, white, and blue. Any suggestions for how to determine if a repair would be best, if a used sail would be best, or a new one would be best would be hugely appreciated. I'd want the best value over the remaining life of the boat determine what is the best approach to me. I live about 6 hours drive from the nearest sail loft. Thanks in advance for any advice!
