| Doyle Sailmakers builds sails to last longer
than any other sail for the way you want to sail your boat.
Such rugged success does not come from off-the-shelf items,
only from specialized products built specifically for you
and your boat.
Our sail consultants work with you to determine your sailing
goals and experience, and your expectations for your sails.
We examine your boat to identify elements of the rig or
deck hardware that will affect the way you set, trim, and
furl them. And we draw upon the combined experience of Doyle
sailmakers around the world to provide you with the most
appropriate shape design, cloth selection, and component
hardware for your specific boat and use. As a result of
all this applied experience, you receive a Doyle sail that
lasts longer and performs better than any comparable product.
A few examples tell the story best.
Doyle race sails have set the standard for lifespan and
performance life on racecourses around the world.
Challenging distance races like the Sydney-Hobart and Newport-Bermuda
sees winning boats using the same race sails two and three
years in a row, while their competitors replace expensive
sails from our competitors every year.
Rich Wilson on Great American II set a new world speed
record from Hong Kong to New York, after sailing from New
York to Australia to Hong Kong on the same set of sails;
then she used them to place second racing across Atlantic.
In the most grueling Vendée Globe in history, which
forced 19 of the 30 competitors to retire, Rich Wilson put
Doyle Vectran inlaid fiber sails through 28,590 miles of
extraordinary hard use with no problems. Read more about
Rich Wilson's experience in the 2008-2009 Vendée
Globe.
But the best testament to Doyle durability are the unsung
heroes cruising on waters around the world with Doyle sails
that just last and last, with little fanfare.
Doyle cruising sails have set the standard for long-term
durability through the use of features like the Crescent
Cut design that Robbie Doyle pioneered decades ago, which
give a sail the greatest possible protection against flogging
and sun damage.
We developed the Doyle Quicksilver to combine the performance
of club race sail with the durability of a Dacron cruising
product.
Our Doyle StackPacks and Cradle Covers have extended the
life of heavily-used charter mainsails by as much as 30
percent.
Even the most basic sails for casual daysailors benefits
from the design and construction lessons learned from Doyle
Superyacht and Grand Prix racing sails to create sails that
give them the most for their sail dollar.
Out of the bag, any sail can look good, the key is how
it stands the tests of use and time. When your Doyle Cruising
sails serve you well for an additional three or four years
longer than you expect, or your Doyle Racing sails stay
blazing fast for a few seasons more, you save money by postponing
new sails for your boat.
Doyle makes stronger, longer-lasting sails to give you
a more dependable, more easily maintained, more affordable
sail to own and enjoy. |
