About Us
Collins Sailmakers Performance Racing & Cruising Sails & Boat Covers
COLLINS SAILMAKERS is a relatively young business, employing the latest technology and equipment in sail design and manufacture. The company started in 1991 and with continuous development & expansion saw the opening of a new loft in 1999.
From the outset we have selected from the very best materials, to produce the highest Quality of manufacture of both sails and covers of all types.
Our sewing machines are set in the floor of the loft which gives us a large sewing table. We have a variety of machines, including computer controlled, with pneumatic pullers, enabling us to handle the heaviest of sails and covers.
A large part of our work makes use of our Computer Aided Design System.
The computer drives a stepped motor, pneumatic cutting head on a 10 metre vacuum bed. The computer stores all of our development and production designs which enables us to reproduce all of our designs to within a fraction of a millimetre.
Developing sails for racing and cruising boats is both a lengthy and meticulous process, once successful sails are produced, they have to be adapted to a particular boat, by taking account of the weight, boat, hull shape, and individual rig set up.
