You’re making me Google everything you break. Are these easy repairs?
The topping lift should actually just be the replacement of a shackle. Luckily it was that and not the actual cable. For the block for the main sheet, I’m not sure what is involved. Might be a shackle as well or just rearranging lines as a temporary fix. For the sail, a patch/reinforcement needs to be added. I believe it’s adhesive which means the sail will have to be cleaned well first and but then the repair should be pretty straightforward. Pete and Mo will probably leave Yap for Ulithi on Monday or Tuesday!
