SailCentre Sail Care

Free Inspection and Advice

At Sailcentre we will provide an ‘MOT’ for any of your sails - advising you of any work that we would recommend to keep your sails fit for the future.

Washing and Servicing:

Removing the salt and grime is essential to ensure that durability and performance is not compromised and the growth of mildew is limited.
SailCentre recommends a wash using Tip Top Sail Laundry, who use their own purpose-developed sail fabric cleaner. All the sails are washed by hand and not by a machine, which can damage the fabric.
We then service the sails ensuring your season ahead is not spoilt by failing sails.
Once washed and overhauled, sails can be stored in our heated store.

UV Strips:

A sail’s worst enemy is sunlight, which can causes the breakdown of the cloth and stitching.
New sails can lose up to 50% of strength if exposed to too much UV light.
SailCentre can fit or replace sacrificial strips with UV light resistant fabric to your furling sails, this is essential to ensure your sails longevity.

Repairs and Alterations:

SailCentre can undertake repairs to your sails - from ripped spinnakers to broken battens - so you can keep sailing.
We can also alter your sails including luff reductions, leech re-hollowing, fitting leech lines and many more - please just ask!
