Yup.. I wasn't thinking for an emergency. 5200 was what I was thinking.

I seem to recall reading somewhere that a particular glue was better than
tape. Does anyone recall that?

Usually, tape would be used for an emergency repair. You don't really have
to
wait for it to set, as you would with glue. It's also a lot easier to
apply.
Sails usually don't tear in mild conditions. I have used tape over small
holes
to keep them from getting bigger. Those patches get repaired permanently
in the
off season by the sailmaker. A lot depends on the type and location of the
damage. For instance, if a seam was coming apart due to thread failure, I
wouldn't wait very long to have the whole sail inspected, repaired
properly, or
replaced. The tape would just be to get me back to port.
