About Us
We specialize in sail repair. Our loft features a specialized machine manufactured in West Germany capable of sewing zigzag 138/207 polyester Heminway/Bartlet thread through 15 layers of 8 oz. Kevlar/Dacron with 1″ tubular webbing. Big boat stuff!
Why 138 size thread? Yes, some “canvas/sail lofts” will say 92 thread has nearly the same strength as 138. However, as sailors, we are also concerned with chafe and longevity. With exception of light duty sails, most sails are manufactured with 138, the industry standard.
