Mylar laminates, when they fail, tend to fail explosively

I was hoping you wouldn't say that That laminate is looking a bit tired.

It's a 10 year old sail, and I doubt anyone would be willing to replace the panel and stand by their work. Or, maybe I'd get a picture of the rest of the sail exploding and only have that one panel still there

I'm hoping that because it most likely tore against something while furling (and not because of wind/loads) maybe a patch will hold it until I drop cash on a new sail.
