"Snake Oil" -my favorite 'juice' If my sails look that bad and are that old - I would get new ones. Dry cleaner is fine - new sails are better - 're-resin-ing' an existing sail is 'weak' at best (see - washing paper plates department)- the sail was built of stabilized cloth with the shape built into the sail, 20 +-years later - 'lets hang it up and spray some glue on it - blow some fans on it to cure - and charge em what we can get - yeah' One born every minute - send me your money, I will do something creative with it! - Caveat Emptor Store your sails rolled (parallel to the foot) indoors (not on the boat) Better yet- Buy new ones and see how much you will do to make them last. As in taking good care of them. Do Not : bungee them to your boom store them on the boom -uncovered (in the sun) store them anywhere YOU would be uncomfortable living. allow them to flog/luff/ whatever your favorite term is. store them wet OR dirty. expect them to last forever - How old are the tires on your car? expect 'motorcycle cover sail' to perform worth a darn. Your boat's performance will deteriorate. spend good money cleaning old/ bad/ worn sails - unless your son-in-law owns a "Sail Cleaning Business" get sunscreen on them - unless that is all she is wearing. listen to some ranting maniac - end of my opinion and worth every penny. Take Care, Have Fun, Go Sailing with whatever you have for sails - Nobody is grading their appearance -.....really GO M-17 316a LB/GF! heck my sail #'s don't even match!
