I would say you should contact a marina there and ask them?

I bet the sail will have to be sent out to "somewhere"

Do you only have one foresail? You can always hand stictch it - might not look pretty though.

I was there many years ago, and seem to recall there were a variety of marine stores, etc, in Provo.
Just ask around, I'm sure you'll find somebody.

Many sailors carry a sewing machine onboard, might ask around.
