I have a p16 main that is missing the large Reefing grommet. Any idea if this is something I can fix myself? Or what it would roughly cost from a sail loft to fix? -

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.

Pick a sail loft and call them.
They love talking about new business.
