Sailmaking fitting patches at really Simple Sails. Sails for a homebuilt boat shipped internationally

We made all the sails completely ourselves until 2017. We started getting the laminate (clear sail material) sails contract cut and have been very happy with the relationship we have developed. The contractor is responsive to quality issues. So now all sails are cut this way.

You get our design work and the attention to detail in our original specifications and designs but at a much better price. Also you get our knowledge and expertise for the huge variety of hombuilt boats – we have been heavily involved in that scene since 1989 as builder, sailor and designer.

Lug Sail Conversions for Convertional Sailing Dinghies

Not for every boat, but where the original rig is missing from the boat changing over to the lug rig has a lot of advantages. Note that it does require setting up a freestanding mast with no stays or shrouds – fitting a mast step and reinforced hole in deck or seat thwart.

Classic Thistle Dinghy with Balance Lugsail from Really Simple sails

Lug rig conversion for sailing dinghy on Thistle One design
  • 5 minute rigging and derigging
  • Huge cost savings – Tiny number of fittings required – pulley for top of mast, horn cleat on side of mast, eye on deck for downhaul, mainsheet blocks and ready to go. Compare with rigging for a sloop rig.
  • Cleaner, more spacious and easier to sail boat.
  • Reefable sail for stronger winds.
  • Easy converstion back to the original rig if one becomes available.
