Sail Maintenance: Take your sails further

During its life, a sail has to take huge mechanical impacts. Your sail has been designed to withstand those impacts. Damages occur, when a sail has to take on loads for which it has not been designed.

To avoid damages, here are some tips:


Avoid fluttering sails or leeches


Whenever you notice a fluttering leech, tighten the leech lines. To avoid fluttering sails, reef in time. 





Avoid creases



Make sure you either roll or fold your sail correctly
.(Zig-Zag) .Ideally an EPEX sail should be rolled from the top to foot, when going in to winter storage. This will avoid any permanent creases



.




Use patches


Wherever your sail may touch parts of the boat, like spreaders, reelings, pulpits, radars, etc, use insignia patches to protect your sail from unnecessary friction
