This seemed to be mostly an internet campaign and it seems that the majority of TARS members are still not plugged into the internet. Overseas mambers are far more likely to be as that is how many of us found that TARS actually exists.

I recall that the Swallow's sail was repaired and patched after the "Incident at Pike Rock", but the one in the film looks too small for that and in the wrong place. Perhaps it is just intended to show that she is an old and well-used but cared for boat. Maybe some earlier holidaymaker at Holly Howe had carelessly torn the sail and Mrs Jackson had to make a repair but didn't have any tan canvas.
