My boat does not sail very well can you help me?
The answer is yes. The first step is to contact the office and talk to one of our sails advisors who should be able to assist and will then advise of the best course of action for you.
How many colours can I use for my Spinnaker or Cruising chute?
We normally make the sails from a combination of up to 4 colours, we recommend that you have a dark colour on the edges to enable the sail to be more visible and therefore easier to trim when sailing in bright sunlight
Do you make coloured sails?
We have a stock of assorted coloured Dacron’s, please ask and we will be happy to advise on the materials suitability for your requirements.
What is covered by your 5 year Cruising Sail Guarantee?
Material and Workmanship, should the sail fail through faulty material or workmanship during its first 5 years then we will rectify or replace as we see fit. We do require the sail to come in for valeting at the end of each year and we inspect for damage. Should we find any manufacturing or material defects we will rectify these at no cost to you. The valeting is charged at the normal rate.
Can I visit the loft or will you come and visit me?
We are regularly touring the country and can arrange, subject to certain criteria, to visit you and your yacht to discuss your requirements.
Do you supply masts and rigging?
Yes we can supply every thing from the deck upwards, Masts, Booms, Rigging (both standing and Running) Headsail reefing systems, in boom reefing Systems and deck gear.
I am building a steel yacht and am unsure where to fit the fairleads etc, can you help?
Chris Jeckells will be more than happy to visit you to discuss and advise on the best positions and layout for you, which is not necessarily the same as the original plan because everyone’s requirements are different.
Do you make upholstery and Spray hoods?
No we do not, but we can put you in touch with some of the country’s leading upholsterers and cover makers. Please email us and advise where your boat is and what you require so we can give you the best advice.
