YOUR ULTIMATE RESOURCE FOR
CUSTOM-PLOTTED SAIL KITS
At Sailrite, we know a thing or two about sails. We'll provide the materials and instructions you need to build a custom-made sail for your boat. Our kits come with everything you need to become a self-reliant sailor. With help from Sailrite, sailing has never been easier.
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 will 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.

Meet Sail Designer Jeff Frank
Sailrite DIY Sail Kits are designed and plotted by Sail Designer Jeff Frank. Jeff has been designing custom sails for Sailrite’s sailing community since 1991. Jeff’s love of sailing runs deep. He grew up on Lake Huron and raced with his dad on an Ecume De Mer 26-foot sailboat. Jeff also grew up windsurfing and sailing on a one-design Force 5 sailboat. As a kid, he worked with his dad in a sail loft during the summers.
Jeff’s a firm believer in becoming a self-reliant sailor. “I think people learn more about how sails are designed and how they go together when they sew their own sails. This takes the mystery out of sailing and sail construction. They find out that they can make their own sails, which means they can repair them in the future should the need arise. Plus, there’s nothing like winning a race or just cruising on the water powered by the sails you made!”
