I dun want to spend a 100 dollars just to buy a sail bag.
Does anyone know if anywhere can repair the zip of the windsurf sail bag, or anywhere can buy 2nd hand sail bags in Brisbane?

Thanks

Go to a dress shop like spotlight and buy a zip?
Or just slider

get some old lady who does sewing to sort it.
Sail repairer will have bags they want to get rid of for nothing I'd have thought..?

Tailor or dress maker. Same tradies that turn up work trousers. Also, motorcycle apparel places you could try.

I've successfully used 'fix n zip' from Anaconda for this purpose. Sizing can be tricky and they're fiddly to install, but they work.

Buy a new sail. The bags don't come with zippers anymore and it doesn't cost $100

I get it - $100 for a bag feels steep. You can often get a sail bag zip repaired at a local sail loft or canvas shop, and there are usually decent second?hand options if you check community marketplaces.
