I just switched boats to an Islander Bahama 24'. It came with the original mainsail which has one repair and is SERIOUSLY old. I also have a large racing-style kevlar mainsail that is much too large for the boat.
I am considering simply cutting the foot off of the kevlar main and making it my new loose footed main. I could also just run the old main until it blows out, and repair it repeatedly, but it is very old, thin, saggy and SLOW. Cost being a consideration, what would you do?
Buying a new main is probably not a viable option.
