The reason I asked is I still have the roller reefing, and may have been just a little over canvased for the really big gusts, but without a reinforcing patch at the clew all the leach tension goes through just the single layer of cloth and mine started a tear right at the contact point with the boom. I'm going to get the sail fixed but I'm also going to have the put 2 reinforced clew areas so that I'll reef to where the take a wrap around the boom and extend a foot or so into the sail to prevent future problems.
