Sorry, but it looks like it's already dead. The Mylar coating has delaminated from the Dacron cloth and it will be a constant, losing battle of taping it up. Jump on the buy and sell, find a newer sail of similar size that fits your mast for a reasonable price and don't look back.

Where are you located in Queensland and what length is your mast, someone might have something local you could have for free

I don't expect free.
Thanks. I am at the north side of Brisbane.
I am thinking to go to 430. Don't whether it is easy to get second hand kit.
Current mast is 460. Felt heavy for uphauling and beach start training.

I am sure someone out there has stuff in the garage doing nothing that will be fit for purpose, ask around at your local windsurfing beach
