This sail shop (in Palo Alto) charges $70/hr and gave me a max estimate of
$55 for two grommets and reinforcing patches. There is another kind of ring
they use on larger sails that is quite a bit more expensive. It will also
cost additional if you want midsail reefpoint ties.

If you have time and a zig-zag sewing machine, you can order supplies and
directions from SailRite and do it yourself.
