What ?

A bladder micro leak or a small hole (e.g. thorn) or start of hernia (max size 1 euro coin)

How ?

Separate your struts bladders and leading edge bladder using the one-pump clips to identify which bladder is leaking.

If you suspect a micro-leak, inflate your sail.

Spray the bladder with soapy water.

Extract the leaking bladder, dry it and degrease it using an alcohol patch provided.

Dry as much as possible.

Cut out a piece of the special blue pudding patch , if possible round the edges with scissors.

If it is the beginning of a hernia, place a piece of thin plastic inside the tear, so as not to stick the two sides of your bladder (cling film, transparent packaging, just recycle!).

Tip : inflate your bladder by gradually inflating it, if necessary, use talcum powder.

No go!

A larger tear on your leading edge requires welding or bladder replacement. A defective valve must be replaced and cannot be repaired with the repair kit.
