would cost about £40 depending on the size, complexity, material and
location of the panel and take two or three of days to complete.

As a rough price guide :- |
  Some
sails have panels made of materials with are not readily available to sail
repairers, in these cases we suggest inserting a similar or contrasting
style of cloth in the form of a sabre flash. Often a sabre flash will look
part of the original sail prior to any damage.
Sabre flashes can cost as little as £40 |

not the most caring when transporting your sail, therefore please take

Transit costs for sails |
If you have difficulty in getting your sail to
us, we can arrange for our appointed carriers to collect your correctly
packed sail and deliver it to us for repair and then re-deliver it back to
you once repaired. Our carriers charge £35 for this service if your packed
sail is less than 220cm in length and a total packet weight of less than
15kg. The carriers will charge extra for consignments that excess these
dimensions.
If you can drop off your sail and need us to send it back to you, the
freight charge will then be just £10 for the return journey. |

Express
Sail Repairs |
The Blue Chip Express Repair Service
means just that. Once we have the sail we can complete the repair
within 24 hours, often less, depending on the work involved.
If you have a problem getting your sail to us, we can arrange
an insured overnight service from you to us and back to you.
If you require the Express
repair service you must specify this at the outset as we will need to build
this into our schedule and cost appraisal. |

Board and sail storage charges for
repaired equipment left beyond the QRCD (quoted repair completion date) |
Due to the amount of work we are now asked to undertake
by private customers, insurance companies and trade work for other shops,
together with a lack of storage space within our workshop, we cannot accommodate storage of
finished boards and sails in our workshops for more than 10 days after the
QRCD. However we now operate a secure post storage service.
