Sail repairs

After being a right wally and leaving my 4.2 at home yesterday, when everbody was going out on 4m, apart from some nutter on a 7.2m.

I tried my 5.5, well flattened and ended up putting a hole in one of the footpanels. The rip has gone along a seam and up the sail so I don't think a bit of tape will work.

Has anybody got any ideas on the best place to get it mended - the nearest surf shop is Cannock.

Thanks Iain

Thanks for your suggestion - I did in fact take it to Boardwise and am now awaiting its return to the quiver.

But the way the wind is looking this weekend it's not going to be need as the big sails are out again or alternatively it is up Batch Valley to the Trig point and then down Callow.
