Sailmaking as an Art and a Science

New Sails

We build sails utilizing computer aided design (CAD) to allow sail size and shape to be replicated and fine tuned as necessary. Sails may be designed to meet specific customer needs for a particular geographic area (predominant sailing conditions) or particular sailing style and preference (cruising vs racing), etc. Boats and their rig should always be measured prior to ordering new sails and specific details provided on sail attachment points.

Sail Logos and Graphics

We provide custom graphics or a logo for your sails, whether it is a mainsail, headsail, or spinnaker. We can also provide graphics for your canvas items such as sail or boat covers. Please contact us to discuss your ideas and requirements.

Luff Conversions

A luff conversion is required for a roller furling configuration. Depending upon the vender of the furler a luff deduction will usually be necessary and a luff tape installed. New head and tack attachments may need to be added. In addition you will need to plan for a UV protective solution.

UV Protection for your Sails

A UV protective solution could be a slip on sail cover or a permanently attached UV protective material. For a sewn on solution material is applied to the leech and foot in a seamanlike fashion to minimize affect on sail shape. Several materials are available, listed here in order of lower to higher cost and weight. SPF treated clear film, UV Dacron (sticky-back) sailcloth, Urethane treated UV 4 oz Dacron sailcloth, and acrylic canvas such as Sunbrella.
