Ready for anything.

Osaka Cup entrants were treated to some handy tips from Sailmaker Sam Haines at the UK Halsey loft in Sandringham last evening. From repairing a clew, blown out tapes on a spinnaker, slugs for your mainsail, retrieving broken battens from pockets and other general repairs, Sam demonstrated how repairs can be made quickly and efficiently whilst racing.

No doubt they will be re-thinking the contents of their sail repair kits this morning!
