Hi all,

I just got a second hand spi which has some tears I have to repair. I got the PSP spi repair tape. People at our club told me that once the tape is adhered, the sailmaker should sew around once to make the repair more resistant.

Now, the instruction manual says the tape has to be adhered to both sides of the sail. My sailmaker says just one side. So one or two? Would a double sided repair result in a too heavy part in the sail?

How do you guys and ladies repair your chutes?

Thanx for any help!


Both sides not stiched. But my repairs are pretty minor, mostly as a result of line friction while snuffing.
