We have a 1980s vintage Sunfish sail from the Fogh North Sails loft in Canada, Fogh designed the first race sails for the Sunfish and this sail has some of those features. It came with our wooden Sunfish ZIP but had several tears. We repaired the tears with adhesive backed sailcloth from SailRite, and decided to have fun with the patches. We cut the different size patches to go about an inch past the widest part of the tear, and patched both sides, reverse image on one side. Stitching for these type repairs is neither required nor recommended. We went with white for tone on tone colors, but SailRite also sells different color adhesive backed insignia sail cloth that would have been fun, different color Sunfishees.
