Flags take a beating when you do as many miles as Wind Horse does. So when the trailing edge of our ensign began to unravel we decided to test a system Dan Neri talks about in his book, Sail Care and Repair.

We trimmed off the ragged edges, and then applied some fast cure 5200 adhesive. We used tape to try and keep a neat edge. This fabric is so light that the job was rather messy. But the repair is strong. And we can see where the approach would work really well with sail cloth.
