PROCESS

The best sail is made to measure. Our sailmakers come on board (by appointment) to measure the sails and give you advice on the spot. We prefer to measure on board since no two ships are alike. If it is not possible to measure the sails on board, we can also choose to measure the existing sails in our sail shop exactly and use these measurements for the design of the new sails.

Once we have all the data we get to work designing and cutting the panels/lanes. The strips are then glued and stitched together. On the basis of agreed specifications, the sail is finished and made ready for use. Optionally, we can install the sails on your ship.

We are not satisfied until you are! Do you want to experience that yourself? Then get in touch with us. Our phone number is: 0514-562015. Near Lemmer?
