Just took my one season new main sail off for the winter and have a dozen or so black spots from spiders along the foot. Has any one had any lluck on spot cleaning sails?
Was thinking of something like a magic eraser pad, but not sure if it would damage material.

How about this? (Supposedly "safe on all marine fabrics.")

Oh, right... They're Canadian spiders.

I tend to suspect mildew rather than spiders... Moisture tends to follow gravity to collect along the foot and in the boom track. If it isn't a loose foot, moisture will wick up from the bolt rope. Soap, bleach, and hope.

Thanks for the link. It is a loose foot .It's spiders 100% these particularly foul little beasts leave a black substance behind them that is just about impossible to get out of gelcoat.
