A missing spreader boot on the port side wore a small tear into the genoa where the bare spreader tip contacted the sail.0:27 Gordon and the crew dropped the genoa, carried it to the marina dock, and used the Sailrite LSZ-1 sewing machine with an extension cord to restitch worn seams and patch the damaged area.0:52 Working at a dock table eliminated the need to dinghy the sail ashore and find a workspace.1:41 During sewing, salt-water pitting on the thread hook snagged and broke thread; polishing the hook with fine sandpaper fixed the problem.1:22 The crew inspected the entire sail and restitched any loose threads, not just the obvious tear.1:11 The repair prevents a potential blowout under load — a risk the crew flagged as especially serious on an older sail.1:52 Replacing the missing spreader boot with a new one, clamped and taped at both ends, removes the root cause.0:03 Catching a small contact tear early and restitching it costs far less than replacing a blown-out genoa.2:13
