This is more common than you can imagine. Don't fret! It can be fixed and have no lasting impact on the sail's life or performance. A simple "strip patch" can be applied over the tear and the torn cloth cut away from behind. Cosmetically you will see a patch but it will have no effect on the sail. If it is mid-panel away from a horizontal seam, there is a good chance it does not even need to be sewn. You may be able to do this yourself; we can provide you with the cloth and adhesive tape. Of course sending the sail to your local Quantum sail loft will assure you of a proper fix.
