Bingo, delam on a laminated sail means you're on barrowed time. Might last a season, or might last one race in a good blow. A little delam becomes a big tare mighty quick, especially at the tack where you have a big load (halyard and sheet pulling it apart). That sails been on bacons for a few months.
