HA Sawyer Sailmaker - We are a small loft in midcoast Maine, specializing in traditional sails for classic sailboats of all kinds. In our dealings with customers we believe in honesty and integrity. Communication with customer is of the highest importance as we build a custom sail.In the past year, we have built sails ranging in size from 47 square feet to almost 2300 square feet. The boats run the gamut from a 14' wherry to the USCG Barque Eagle. We are very proud to be the chosen sailmaker of owners of boats of the highest caliber, and as a result we are anxious to make the best possible sails for them.
The materials we use are premium. Never anything less. We want your sail to last, look and perform the best. Because of that, most of our bronze is custom cast, using manganese alloys (stronger than stainless), our ropes are European, and the sailcloth is the best we can buy. We currently use Contender Dacron, Oceanus, Duradon and cotton duck.
In our loft, we may floor loft your sail in the traditional fashion, or we may computer design and plot it; it really depends on the sail. Construction is well thought out, and we use time proven methods that will enable the sail to last without compromising sail set.
