Our Process
Our maintenance processes extend the life and enhance the look of your sail. We work with the highest-quality sailcloth materials and UV Resistant thread to ensure your sail will last. After being inspected and washed, sails are hung to dry in a climate-controlled area before being flaked neatly to avoid creases in the cloth. If the sail is not worth repairing we will tell you so and work together on a proper replacement that will leave you sailing fast and true.
