PSP Spinnaker Repair Tape is a high-performance, self-adhesive marine tape engineered for fast, reliable emergency repairs to sails and outdoor fabrics. Made from premium ripstop nylon, it offers an immediate solution to prevent small tears from spreading while on the water, avoiding costly structural damage.
Key Features
- Ripstop Nylon Construction: Woven with a signature crosshatch pattern that physically stops tears from spreading across lightweight fabrics.
- Aggressive Self-Adhesive Backing: Features a strong, pressure-sensitive adhesive that bonds tightly to modern sailcloth materials.
- Flexible and Lightweight: Moves and flexes naturally with the sail, preserving aerodynamic shape and performance.
- Extensive Colour Selection: Available in a wide variety of shades—including standard black/white, high-visibility fluorescents, and matching marine blues—to ensure an inconspicuous patch on any spinnaker canvas.

Applications & Benefits
- Emergency On-Board Repair: Quickly patches tears in spinnakers, cruising chutes, gennakers, windsurf sails, and kites without removing them from the rig.

Application Instructions
- Clean Surface: Ensure the underlying fabric is completely clean, dry, and free from salt crust, dust, or grease.
- Prep the Tape: Cut the tape to size and round off the corners with scissors to prevent the edges from lifting or peeling over time.
- Apply Firmly: Remove the protective backing liner and press down firmly from the center outward, eliminating all creases and folds.
- Double-Sided Option: For high-stress areas, apply tape to both sides of the tear, offsetting the alignment slightly to maximize holding strength.
