We are able to do tanbark sails and also some other sail colours.
Cream is no longer available in dinghy and small boat sizes – our supplier is no longer inventorying those cloths. Cream may continue to be available in cloth weights for small yachts.
All are only available by direct order from us. We can do our stock sails in tanbark too, but again you will have to order direct.
Custom sails contact us direct – please provide sailplan or measurements and any specification details that you want.
Time and Prices for Tanbark Sails
Time from confirmed order to delivery ex philippines is 4 to 10 weeks to most points on the globe.
Price difference has been about 15 percent for tanbark sails, but we have had a huge blowout in tanbark fabric prices for dinghy sized sails. Large dinghies, trailer sailers and small keelboats might be possible economically still. Feel free to request a price in white as well as tanbark.
Cream Sails not available in dinghy weights any more
Egyptian creme is no longer available in small boat sizes. It may be available for sizes of trailer boat or yacht that are big enough to take a cabin (6m+ or 20ft+) but is somewhat more expensive.
Other Colours and comments about quality
We can also do more than white and tanbark sails. But a warning.
The best sailcloths that get the most development and quality control are the fabrics that are sold regularly. For our smaller and lighter boats this means there is good development of red sailcloth because of racing in Mirror Dinghies.
And light blue thanks to Enterprise dinghies.
We can do many colours to order but these are the ones we recommend.
Tanbark sails imply Traditional Rigs. Trad boats with modern performance is our interest
Tanbark sails are often used on traditional boats. We have a speciality in lug and other traditional sails and have developed a lot of the useful information available on the net. We also design boats so we can often fill in details with traditional rigs that other sailmakers might not understand quite so well.
Requests for quotes for tanbark sails and other colours welcome. Use the email in the website menu for custom sails.
