Our promise of authentic, hand-crafted bespoke products.
Having worked with world class teams, and dealt with the latest technology in canvas work both for onshore, inshore and offshore use, we have the expertise to provide our customers with the absolute best in canvas work for their boat and/or team.
SO31 Sailmakers specializes in creating the best bags, canvas and technical products in a variety of textiles. We also are great at servicing and altering sails in our loft in Hamble.
Starting out in 1984 we have been a sailmaker in the hamble for quite some time! Life started for us as Richardson Sails providing excellent service and new sails for the local area. Some of these sails are still sailing on various boats around the UK.
In 2012, new ownership pivoted and re-branded to SO31 Bags to meet the needs of the local market and utilise the expert knowledge that has been built up by our sail making team. Since then we've been going from strength to strength and trying to achieve our mission of providing the best sail making customer service in the UK.
In 2012 we started life as SO31 Bags, then to reflect our growing services we change to SO31 Loft and most recently we have progressed to SO31 Sailmakers. We think SO31 Sailmakers better reflects the products and services we provide, but we are also happy to brand our products and services with any one of SO31 Bags, SO31 Loft, SO31 Sails and SO31 Sailmakers.
We are able to produce high quality products in a variety of standard and high tech materials depending on the requirements of the project.
No job is too big or small, our range of products can be fitted to any type of boat or situation. Whether you are looking for a range of durable offshore stacking bags, a mast cover for your dinghy or just a weatherproof bean bag to kick back on, the experience within our team can design, measure and provide you with anything you can dream up.
