| Dolphin Sailmakers |
|
|
| Quality is the core of the business. As
an independent sailmaker, this has kept us at the forefront
of sail making for the last 40 years.
The relationship between customer and sailmaker is important.
Sails are individually designed and crafted only after consultation
with you the owner, whether they are for out and out racing
or cruising.
Dolphin have a good racing success rate against the larger
international lofts, but provide that personal service for
every customer whether for one off IRC or class boats such
as the J’s, Dehlers, X boats etc.
|
At Dolphin our philosophy is to apply the
same attention to detail no matter how large or small the
boat, whether racing or cruising.
Where possible we will measure the boat's rig, set-up characteristics,
and discuss with you any personal preferences. Our experience
with building racing sails enables us to bring a wide based
knowledge to the design and construction of your cruising
sails. This experience is invaluable for the production
of sails with excellent shape holding, that help you to
get to your destination as quickly as possible. Boat speed
is important. How often do we hear "I'm not worried
about boat speed", but when we actually get out there
we tweak and trim to try to get past the boat in front?
We can't help ourselves!
|
| Of equal importance of course is the ease of
handling and use of a sail. Dolphin take care to ensure both
the sail handling and sail handling systems make your cruising
as pleasurable an experience as possible.
|
| A wide range of fabrics are available from the
highly durable Dacron, through single sided laminates to sandwich
laminates.
Dacron fabrics are generally used in a cross-cut construction
giving good shape holding and great longevity.
For enhanced shape holding, weight saving and speed, a
tri-radial construction utilising the warp orientated laminated
fabrics is employed.
|
| Greater performance will be achieved with a
Pentex laminate whilst Spectra/Dyneema will produce the ultimate
in shape holding capability.
All sails are finished to a high standard, using a wealth
of experience, to ensure long lasting, durable sails.
