DIY Genoa Repair - Can You Really Sew a Sail Yourself? (Ep.55 | Sailing ARGO)

Can You Really Sew a Sail Yourself? Sure! Removing and repairing a genoa isn’t exactly a small job – especially when you’re doing it yourself. In this episode, Jason takes on the first challenge solo: figuring out how to remove the genoa and get it off the boat with no help! Once it’s down, good mate, Jim, steps in and the real test begins – resewing the sunshade protection using a Sailrite sewing machine neither of them had ever used before. What could possibly go wrong? Armed with the instruction manual (and a fair bit of optimism), the boys tackle the stitching and, against the odds, end up with a seriously solid result. No ball gowns will be sewn anytime soon, but the genoa is repaired, the stitching is strong, and ARGO is ready to go sailing again – all with minimal swearing. Huge thanks to Jim for the use of the machine and for giving up his time to help get ARGO back up and sailing smoothly. Right… onto the next boat jobs. Thanks for watching.
