Where are the 'New Build' sails (which are made to order) designed and made?

The sails are designed in Australia and partially or fully built at our production facilities in South Africa, China and Sri Lanka. Some of the finishing-off is completed in Australia.

How does your rating system work with used sails?

All used sails are rated out of 10. Here are some examples:

  • A used sail that is rated 10/10 is brand new – it has never been used.
  • 5/10 is in average condition, with life still left in the sail.
  • 1/10, 2/10, 3/10 are in poor to very poor condition and should not be hoisted. We recommend repurposing these sails.
