Hello all,

I'm in the final stages of restoring a woody All of the work was planned out according to a budget that my wife and I agreed on before I started the project. Inclusion in the budget was on a immediate needs/requirements bases weighed against researched estimated costs, affect on sailing and total days of use in the first season. Usage was to also be weighed against other interests: kayaking, hiking, weekends at the cabin, weekends with the kids (and now grandchild), etc. I�m now at the point in the restoration where I have to complete the rigging, which, due to its status in the budget is where I will be spending the most money. That leaves me with how to afford sail restoration. The budget, based on a thorough survey of the sails� condition, designates that, at a minimum, the existing sails are to be used for the first year and that I perform all of the repairs myself.  The sails have some minor small tears most are under 3 inches.

So, after that long introduction comes my question: How do I figure out what cloth to buy to facilitate the required repairs?

Thank you

I did not find the right solution from the internet
