The Best Sail Cloth | Precision Sailmakers

Sailcloth

Precision Sails is proud to offer the largest selection of sailcloth in the industry. Whether you’re a weekend warrior on a 16′ boat, a world explorer sailing your home around the world, or a speed demon with a desire to finish first in your club and long distance races, we can find the cloth for you. The correct sailcloth for your boat depends on the area that you sail in and the type of sailing you like to do. This can often make choosing a cloth difficult and overwhelming. Don’t worry, we can help. Precision Sails‘ dedicated sail consultants will walk you through the process.

What sailcloth do we use?

First run sailcloth

Precision Sails only uses first run sailcloth for all of our sails. All sailcloth is manufactured to industry standards for quality. However, when mistakes happen, or flaws are discovered in rolls, cloth manufactures will offer these „seconds“ at a discounted price because of the small imperfections in the cloth. Although this cloth may be fine for some applications, we choose to only use first run sailcloth because we believe that if we are going to spend the time designing a perfect sail, we should build it with a perfect cloth.

Welcome to the world of choice

In the sailmaking industry there are sailcloth manufacturers and sailmakers. Precision Sails designs and builds sails using the top manufacturers of Dacron sailcloth, Nylon Spinnaker cloth, and rolled Laminate sailcloth. Even though all sailmakers have access to the same suppliers of sailcloth, many choose to only work with a limited number in order to reduce their inventory requirements. At Precision Sails we’re different. Here, you have the world of choice, and that means we can guarantee that you’ll find a cloth choice to suit your needs.
