Classic sailing

At Zeilmakerij De Vries Maritiem, we understand that classic sailing ships are something special. They require robust sails that are not only functional, but also reflect the character of the ship. We make most sails ourselves in Lemmer, combining craft and experience to create sails that perfectly match each ship's heritage.

Our sails for classic ships - of clippers, flatboats and other classic craft - are carefully designed and made. For larger sails, we work with one of our valued partners abroad, where they perform the work that we cannot accomplish on our shop floor due to space constraints. What remains is the personal contact and quality we value highly.

Sail Maintenance and Repair - For Any Sail, Large or Small

At Zeilmakerij De Vries Maritiem, we specialize not only in sail making, but also in sail maintenance and repair. From the smallest repair to the maintenance of larger sails, we ensure that your sails always remain in top condition, season after season. Does your sail have minor damage? Or does it just need to be checked and cleaned before the new season? We offer professional cleaning and careful repairs to ensure that your sails always perform optimally.

Pride of the Brown Fleet - Years of Experience in Sailing for Classic Ships

For many years we have supplied sails for the brown fleet and other classic ships. We are proud of the ships we have fitted with our quality sails.

We are pleased that much of the brown fleet trusts us to wash and repair their sails, and we are proud to have been the partner for these beautiful ships for many years.
