Hi folks,
On one of my not-so-perfect landing, I ended up tearing the sail on my HG.
I emailed Steve down at Blue Sky, but he's got "at least" a one month backup.
Does anyone know of a sail repair person in the Baltimore/Washington area that can repair a tear in a HG wing?
The wing is a Falcon II trailing edge.
thanks and happy landings to all,
Marco
Has anyone heard of, or from, Daryl Voorhees at V-Sails? He has done work for me in the past, but has relocated.

You might try windsurfing and sailboat shops although they might want you to take the sail off the frame (and they may be wiggy about liability.)
Give Highland a call and see what they think.

If it's not a high stress area sail tape/patch material (sticky) can be used until it's convenient to get it repaired.Marine supply stores have it.RichB

John Middleton (Silverwings) and Sunny Venesky (Highland) both can do sail repair and will let you know what they are or are not comfortable handling.

Trailing edge tear need to be sewn... sticky tape alone will not do!
