Early start today to get on the boat to remove the sails. The jib is pretty rough with the edging strip parting company from the sail itself as I lowered it and bundled it up. The stitching on the main is a bit rotten in places as you can see on the photos.
First the jib:
 |
| The Leech Strip. In bits. Again. |
 |
| It had lost most of its UV strip before I got Sprite. |
 |
| The foot is nasty too. |
As you can see the jib needs some work. The main less so, but it still has it's faults:
 |
| Stitching wearing thin at the head of the mainsail. |
 |
| Here it's so thin it's not there! |
 |
| And here... |
 |
| And here! |
So.... I've already got some sail thread off ebay and broken out the sewing machine, I just hope it's strong enough...
UPDATE: After two broken needles, I'm off to the local craft shop to get stronger ones.
