Just checking if a luff repair or replacement might also be in order. Those things tend to go together. Sail Care replaced my entire luff rope, resewed the sail, replaced tack plate, reinforced downhaul grommets and made the sail look like new for about $300. Depending on your location, the shipping could cost add to the repairs.
I don't have the sewing machine, threads, dacron or skill, so doesn't sound like a DIY to me.
