Unrigging, cleaning and repairing sails

- Sailing

We remove the sails from your vessel and allow them to dry thoroughly. Then we check your sails for damage and contact you if repair is necessary. To extend the life of your sails, we can wash and impregnate them. Your sails are neatly tucked away and stored dry during the winter.

Disassemble, clean and repair canvas

- Canvas

To preserve the canvas on your boat, such as spray hood, covers or tents, it is best that they are not unnecessarily exposed to sun, rain, wind, snow. Therefore, we remove your canvas products from your boat, let them dry thoroughly and store them dry during the winter. If we see green deposits or damage to the canvas, we can also clean, impregnate or repair it. Of course we will discuss this with you in detail.

I prefer to do the winterizing myself, but due to corona I don't want to travel unnecessarily now. This is a really nice solution. Thanks!

Frequently Asked Questions

My boat is in Sneek, can you perform the service on location?

Yes we can do the work within a radius of 100km from Lemmer.

When you unrig my boat, will you put the sails on board?

For the preservation of your sails we store them in our racks. Since it is very damp on the boat during the winter, we take the sails to the sailmaker's, where we let them dry thoroughly, check them for damage and then neatly fold them. They then stay with us through the winter.

On my spray hood and rear tent there is a green deposit can you also clean it?

You can tell us which service you want to use. We can also wash and impregnate your sails and spray hood.

I rig my boat myself and make it winter ready, can I also bring the sails and canvas materials to you myself?

Yes, you can bring the sails and canvas materials to us at the sail-making facility. We will then let them dry, check the materials for damage and if desired, the sails and canvas will be washed, impregnated and repaired.
