Did you know that Sailrite got its start back in 1969 by only selling sail kits and instructions?

It's true! Founders Jim and Connie Grant took an interest in building their own sails, and soon others took notice. Read more about the history of Sailrite and our founders on our About Us page.

THINGS TO KNOW

We've designed our sail kits to be easy to assemble.

All panels arrive precut, labeled and numbered and come with detailed step-by-step instructions. Seaming and hemming lines are plotted on each panel and double-sided tape is included to hold panels together during construction. Best of all, Sailrite's expert staff is available every working day to help guide you through the ordering and construction process.

Our sail kits are designed and plotted using state-of-the-art equipment.

Each sail is custom designed for maximum performance with the draft, twist, entry and exit curves carefully calculated, controlled and positioned on each sail. In addition, we use only the highest quality materials from brands such as Bainbridge, Challenge and Contender.
