Wally,
It's ripped beyond repair for a fifteen year old sail. Not worth fixing. A 
new sail from Lee Sails which is a exact replacement is only $750.00 plus some 
change for shipping. I have known for some time now that the sail was about to 
go, but we just kept sailing it anyway, knowing it would be replaced this 
spring. I have a loaner sail from another boat which I may use in the interim. It 
takes about sixty days to get the sail from Lee.
I have only sailed on one boat with the new battened IMF mainsail, in lite 
air and I didn't like it. (sorry Stan)  I like to keep things simple because a 
lot of complicated things takes brain power and thought and that just takes 
away from my drinking time while sailing. That's another reason you don't find a 
lot of fandangled hardware on my boat like spinnakers and poles and the like. 
They take too much time to handle and it takes away from the real reason I 
sail.....I like to drink and listen to loud music. I have the funnest boat on the 
lake.....ask anybody.......they all know RumRunner. Yes, you might blow my 
doors off, but who cares?
