Sails for yachting
Sailing comes in many flavours: A round over the lake, a trip from harbour to harbour in Zeeland, coastal sailing or sailing across the IJsselmeer. Cruising across the Wadden sea, a passage to UK or further, a quick sailing competition in the evening or the legendary Colin Archer Memorial Race…
For all these types of sailing SkipsSails has the most suitable types of sails. Sailors are individualists. None of them are alike, leave alone ‘like the others’. That’s why we deliver all kinds of sails, always as client-specific production. We get aboard your ship and take all the measurements we need for our work. Based on the resulting data our partners then will design your sail. It will be a sail that allows for an optimal propulsion of your yacht. We are passionate sailors, both cruisers and competition sailors. Together with you we will find the best solution.
Independent from the type of sailing you’re interested in: Our goal is to provide you with high-quality, reliable and durable sails. High value for your money – and long lasting sailing fun.
Canvas works
SkipsSails has built an excellent reputation over the years regarding tarpaulins, biminis and protective tent fabrics in general.
We produce models that really fit your ship, designed with a love for details and finished with greatest possible care. Just compare our products to those of our competitors. You will see by yourself where and why our products stand out. For instance, we are one of few sail makers who fold in the preseams of our products. Especially with textile tarpaulins this has the great advantage that the fabric won’t loosen up. Even after repeated washing the seam will remain intact and strong. Two of our harbours (Flevo Marina and Marina Hindeloopen) have a sail maker station where tarpaulins, covers and protective sheaths are produced. For more information just contact the harbour which is closest to your home port.

SkipsSails delivers complete riggings for both smaller and bigger ships.
We deliver and place masts, jibs and furling reefing systems of renowned brands. Expertise, a good advice in time, first-rate materials and modern technology: These are the components of a real solid rigging.
