If the sails have seen better days, you may think that their replacement by new sails is their only option. But think again – high quality, repair competent candle making candles of age may look, feel and function like new. Even the sails have been in service for decades, can be restored and refurbished to "as new condition. One of the keys to the longer duration of the candles is to keep a close watch on their sails and make repairs as soon as a problem. Here There are some things to watch out for:

Stains – The bad news is that the spots on the sails are an unpleasant but unavoidable regular use. But the good news is that proper cleaning techniques can reliably eradicate almost any type of stain, as stubborn rust marks. Returning stained sails to its original beauty is work of professional training and experience of the sail repair, however – no amount of washing or do-it-yourself stain removal will give a badly stained candle which, as new look. But in the right hands, professional dry cleaning using proven restoration techniques removes stains and leave your candle candle looking almost as good as they did the day I bought …. even if that day was thirty or more years.

Mainsail leech edge - The leech or posterior edge of the mainsail is often the first part of the candle to show wear and tear. Be alert for these signs of problems edge Leech:

– You having problems establishing or cutting principal.
A – It is difficult to flatten the back edge of the sail
A – Line By leeches only looks to the rear edge of the cup instead of help flatten or by the back edge.
A – You see visible signs of wear along the leech / back edge of the sail. This wear may be visible as small holes in the fabric, or in extreme cases tears along the seam, it may even be visible.

If you notice any of the above, it is likely that aging and use have created a problem that requires professional sail repair. As with all problems of the sail, faster before him, the better the chances of the repair will be successful. But even the most severe cases of wear can be fixed by restoration specialists sailing.

Batten Pockets – Wooden boards and bags containing them provide an important role in shaping the mainsail. A change steering the boat, the sail is moved from one side of the boat to the other. This causes the bar to flex and bend the fabric at the end of pocket. Eventually fabric can weaken and even tear. If not caught early can be catastrophic damage, tearing the whole back pocket to the edge and causing leech extensive damage to the sail. This is a problem that is almost impossible to tackle on their own, but it's a fairly simple procedure for restoration of professional sailing repair. When making a repair like this would be a good time to replace the rubber on the end of the bag to maintain proper tension on the sword to help maintain good sailing shape. However, it is important to detect wear in this area as quickly as possible, so be sure to regularly inspect your sails for this type of wear.

Bolt rope has been reduced or drawn up which makes it difficult to raise or lower the principal and get a good set at the candle – This is a common problem and many sailors were told they can not be fixed or adjusted. However, the truth is that a good professional restoration candle may well be able to fix it. In addition, the cost to this type of repair is relatively low and it takes very little time to do.

Several sailboats use various types of line or rope into rope screw. Nylon is popular because it has stretch, but also be reduced. If you start noticing the boom seems to be hanging lower in the clew or the rear edge of candle tactics or the leading edge of the sail, or if the bottom of the candle seems to have a cloth bag or extra remarkable, the problem could be the bolt rope.

Stock in the lower body of the candle – Another common problem is that almost always due to sail spread by wind. Restoration Professionals Sailing has a number of ways to make repairs or adjustments that will solve this problem.
