The main batten on my older Waddell RAF sail has punched through the
luff side end of the batten pocket into the mast sleeve. The reinforced
stitching at the luff end of the batten pocket is blown.

Is that something I can repair myself? What kind of needle and thread
would I use and where would I get it? Any tips?

Any recommendations on a sail repair shop on the peninsula?

-Ron
