Spotted a hole, tear or split seam in your sail?

Small issues become expensive repairs fast.
Get it checked. Get it fixed. Get back on the water.

Sails are a major investment, and regular maintenance is the key to making them last. Catching small tears, worn stitching, or damaged areas early can prevent costly repairs or even a complete sail replacement.

That’s why our sailmakers don’t just repair the obvious damage. We also check for other signs of wear that could lead to bigger problems later, helping you avoid unnecessary expense and downtime.

We’ll assess the sail’s age, condition and extent of the damage, then advise whether repair is practical and cost-effective.

It depends on the damage, sail condition and how it is used. A properly completed repair should provide reliable service, and we’ll advise if further reinforcement is recommended.
