Ditto, I've taped a few 4'' cuts , with the intent to sew them later,
and it's lasted 3 seasons.

Does this product provide a good quality repair for
a 6 inch tear?

yes indeed. I have had such patches work for years without any
stitching at
all.

Should one have the tear repaired quickly by the sailmaker?

yes, indeed, if I happen to be standing nearby, for that will put
money in my
pocket. My pocket is much more worthy of your money than your
pocket. [grin]
