The question for the day is a rather simple one: Once your sail has been stretched is there any way to tighten it up again? I would guess not. The scenario is this: I have an NSR, and have been flying it for about 3 or 4 months in a wide range of winds. The sail has stretched to the point that the standoffs come out of the vinyl tube whenever I fly in anything about, say, 12MPH. It didn't do this before, so I assume the sail has stretched. It would seem that the obvious thing to do is simply make a set of longer standoffs, but I wonder if that much stretching is indicative of poor tuning (i.e. too much pull is stretching the sail). Any opinions? ADVthanksANCE!
