Westaway Sails Description
Founded in 1971, Westaway Sails has grown consistently to become one of the finest bespoke sailmakers in the UK. With the very latest in advanced sail technology combined with skilled craftsmanship, Westaway Sails has earned a reputation for producing fast, yet long-lasting sails at competitive prices.
We are established sail makers. Sails manufactured in-house by Westaway have completed numerous circumnavigations and have been used by Britain's leading sailors including Sir Chay Blyth, Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, Lisa Clayton and Ellen MacArthur. Our sails are proven race winners on the international racing circuit; they also give satisfaction to cruising sailors who appreciate the benefits of highly efficient durable racing sails – including owners of traditional craft. Whether you are looking for racing sails, cruising spinnakers and chutes please contact us.
In addition to sail making, Westaway sails also offers a quick efficient sail repairs service in the South West with drop off points in Torquay, Dartmouth, Salcombe, Plymouth and other locations in Devon and Cornwall.
We have an enormous selection of used and second hand sails, all of which are quality graded, serviced and ready for immediate despatch worldwide. We also undertake Alterations and Adaptations.
