Is there a trick to removing sail clips? I want to replace my rec sail with a racing sail and can't get the darn clips undone without breaking them.

So....what kind of Info.do you have on this? Linky?There is actually a tool made to "undo" these nylon sail clips, but in the absence of that tool, I have found that using two, large flat screwdrivers will do the job. Put the blades side by side and insert at the open end of the clip and twist gently and the clip will open without damaging the clip, the sail cloth or the brass grommet.
