Sanders Sails in Lymington, New Forest, United Kingdom | Boating

Welcome to Sanders Sails, Lymington, United Kingdom . From the best quality high performance Dacrons to the latest CARBON laminates, Sanders Sails have the experience and track record to make the best sails for your racing or cruising yacht.
Sanders Sails, Lymington does repairs: The majority of yachts have sails made from Polyester (Dacron). Although this fabric was invented over 50 years ago it is still the most durable sailcloth available for most cruising yachts. Some of the larger yachts opt for a cruising laminate which provides less stretch than the woven alternatives but at the expense of some durability. Racing yachts almost exclusively use scrim laminates using yarns of Pentex, Kevlar or Carbon fibre. These fabrics are not encased in layers of taffeta like the cruising laminates which makes them much lighter but also far more fragile.
Although Sailcloths are all different they all have the same enemies and defending against them will increase the life of your sails and their performance. Remember, Prevention is cheaper than correction.
