Inspecting Your Sails for Next Sailing Season

At the end of the sailing season it is a good time to inspect your sail boat sails to make sure they are in good shape and ready to go. This gives you plenty of time to make any needed repairs before the next sailing season. In this video Jeff Frank (Sail Designer for Sailrite with over 24 year experience) will comb over a few sails from an Islander 37 sailboat and look for the most common repair issues. Then he will show how to tackle those problems appropriately.
