After a few weeks assessing different kits, I went for the Amati Santa Maria. It was delivered a few days ago, On checking through the box of stuff, I was disappointed to notice red dye on the corner of the main sail. I don't know whether to try and wash it out, and hope it doesn't bleed further, or hope when i trim and sew them it gets hidden. Is it worth complaining? If so should i go directly to Amati or who i purchased it from?

It is not ok - so I would write an e-mail to Amati with a photo and would (kindly) ask for a new one
Usually they are very helpful
