Sail repair question Atlantic 57 kite.

06 February 2013 - 05:03 PM

So this cruisers halyard snaps and he sails over the Kite. Ask me to repair it, but due to its size and amount of damage, I recommended to have it taken to a full service loft on his next stop. The other day, just out of the blue, he gives me the kite. Does not want it any more. So I agree to take it and inspect it on a grass patch at a resort. It is ripped along the vertical seam from top to bottom but starts well under the reinforcement patch at the head.Half way along the foot and a few L shaped, small tears here and there. Heck, even I can fix that but the problem is, none of my machines have the cam for the multi step zig zag. So I drew a map of the damages sail, showed it to him and asked if he really wants to give is away. So he takes it back and wants to know what it would cost him to get it properly repaired. It's a2300 sq ft assy for a Chris white Atlantic 57. Any one have an idea?
