Books & Instructions on Repair

Great instructional books and videos covering a wide range of sail and canvas repair projects. Be prepared for rips & tears.

The Sail Repair Manual

This is a book for those who want to be self-sufficient. With the aid of this book you can repair your own sails at sea and at home. There is a full treatment of hand stitching techniques and a section on the use of a home sewing machine including proper adjustment and tips for sewing heavy sail cloth.

The Complete Guide to Sail Care & Repair

We consider "The Complete Guide to Sail Care & Repair", at least in part, an endorsement of all that Sailrite has stood for. Even though he is careful to stress that he does not recommend sail construction for amateurs, his book certainly helps lift the shroud of mystery that has surrounded professional sailmaking. And we are appreciative of his warm praise for the Ultrafeed zigzag machine that we loaned him during preparation of the book.

The Sailmaker's Apprentice Book

This is a good book on traditional sail design, construction, repair and improvement. It is full of techniques and tips that have hitherto been available only to those who are willing to apprentice themselves to a loft. It also covers rigs and sail types. There are some skills that can only be learned by actually doing them, but this book serves as an excellent foundation.

Item Number: 3142

Practical Sail Care & Repair

Contains detailed instructions on how to make emergency sail repairs at sea and how to make them permanent once ashore.

Item Number: 100678

Canvaswork & Sail Repair

Don Casey, the author of This Old Boat as well as this brand new book on boat canvas, has a real flair for making do-it-yourself projects fun and satisfying. The illustrations alone are worth the price.

Item Number: 1066

CD Rom Tips on Sail & Canvas

This is a "Power Point" presentation that Jim and Connie Grant prepared for the 2004 Good Old Boat Winter Seminar. It is a true multimedia show with video clips, audio explainations, and detailed text as well. The intent of the presentation is to explain some of the special techniques that the Grants have developed to make do-it-yourself sewing easy.
