Maximus

I have been a UK Sailmakers Ireland customer for over 10 years. They are an extremely professional and efficient outfit and have always delivered theirs sails with enthusiasm and interest. Graham and Barry have been very helpful in tuning the rig and getting my boat and crew up to speed, to get the best from our sails.

BLACK VELVET

We are extremely pleased with the professionalism of Barry and Graham. They really went over and above to design and build our new Uni-Titanium mainsail and non-overlapping headsail. The sails were custom fitted to the boat and tested in race conditions by Barry and Graham and perform flawlessly. Not only did they supply and tweak the sails, they showed us how to get the very most out of them by trimming correctly and where to look for the subtle signs that a sail is at peak trimand power.

For nearly twenty years UK Sailmakers Ireland’s Cork loft has provided a dedicated service to me in ensuringthat I’m racing with a fully competitive set of sails. It is great to see that this service is being continued by the new management team.

UK Sailmakers Ireland not only provide top quality sails but the service is second to none. I have been using their sails over the last thirty or so years and never had an issue. Presently our J24 is fully powered by a full set of UK Sails in the very competitive Irish fleet.

MISS BEHAVIN

We purchased a main, No 1 and spinnaker from UK Sailmakers Ireland. Upwind the sails allow us to sail high and fast keeping us at the top end of the sigma fleet over the past 3 seasons.

We recently purchased a new staysail for our boat, a Beneteau Oceanis 473. From the initial consultation with Graham aboard the boat, to selecting the best design and specification through to timely delivery and aftercare service we were very happy with both the service received and the new sail. Well done to Graham and the team at UK Sailmakers Ireland.
