Independent guidance for Australian yacht owners
Interactive condition tool

Repair, recut or replace your yacht sail?

Separate structure, shape and suitability so the visible tear does not become the whole decision.

Example condition decision

An isolated seam repair in sound cloth is different from repeated failures, aft draft and brittle material across several load paths.

Do not load a sail with suspected structural failure. This tool cannot inspect cloth, seams or hardware.

Use the result well

A tool organises evidence; it does not inspect a sail

Treat the output as a structured conversation starter. Send the same facts to each provider, record assumptions and ask who owns measurement, engineering and final fit.
