Sail repair recommendations in St. George Grenada

[geekoman]

We had minor damage to our jib on our transit to Grenada and need to get it repaired - preferably while in quarantine.

Any recommendations on quality vendors?

I did look at Noonsite, Grenada. Not much there that I could find. Can you be more specific to your recommendation?

Anybody have sail repairs done in Grenada with great results.

Thanks!

Have not personally used them but Turbulence is probably the largest sail loft in Grenada. Main loft is in Prickley Bay with branches at Clarkes Court Marina and Grenada Marine.
Have used Island View Sailmakers in Woburn with good results, you would have to check to see if she is still operating. Small shop but very experienced owner.

I had a great experience with Turbulence. Not cheap but definitely know what they are doing

PS - Best to contact Turbulence directly. If you go through the yard they may tack on a percentage.

Depending upon cost and damage level, have you thought of buying a small sewing machine and doing it yourself? Excellent videos by companies like SailRite that I used to learn to repair my own sails.

We bought a machine from the same company that makes these youtube videos and I have repaired the bimini, the main and two jibs. Sooner or later, it is easier and cheaper this way. We also reinforced the sails with a kevlar-type thread that is warrantied for life. Our goal was to make our cruising sails more durable as well as fix a couple spots.
