This one day course will focus on sail selection, maintenance and repair. Selecting the right sails for your offshore journey is just the beginning. Proper sail maintenance is easy and takes little time, but it can make a big difference in the life and performance of your sails.
Instructor Paul Betts is the owner, designer and senior sailmaker at Leitch and McBride Sails [1]. Leitch and McBride Sails has been designing and building custom sails in Sidney, BC since 1975. Paul notes that “it’s best not to have to undertake sail repairs while underway”.
