I'm new to Laser sailing, and just purchased a used 2000 Laser over the weekend. The previous owner didn't take care of the sail. The boat is like new, sailed less than 10 times, but he kept the sail tightly wrapped to the mast and kept it outside, under the house (not exposed to sun). It appears that a small critter ate the sail where the sleeve wraps around the mast. That is the only visual thing I see wrong with it. However, from this forum, I understand it's really bad to keep a sail wrapped around the mast for any length of time, but I'm not sure what happens. Maybe it stretches? The outter layer of the sail that was exposed is dirty and I think has less resin. Since I'm a beginner, I"m not going to race anytime soon, but hope to in the future. Do you think it's worh getting fixed or should I just bite the bullet and buy a new sail?
Thanks.
