Dating back to 1200 BC. in ancient Greece and probably coming from China, the first sailmakers manufactured and repaired sails for merchant and warships. So with the rise of Hellenism, the valuable expertise of the sailmakers moved around the Mediterranean. Closer to today, modern ships in the early seventeenth century often had a sailmaker crew on board for maintenance and the repair of sails. In the 19th century great sailmakers opened in France, England, USA and Australia. Today, sail making has the benefit of computer aided design and manufacture. Our laser digital table is used to cut fabric to the exact shape and dimension. This advance in technology has greatly improved the accuracy of sailmaking and reduced the space and time needed for their manufacture. Sailcloths are stronger, longer lasting, more efficient and powerful. They are developed and produced by great companies, such as Dimension Polyant, Contender Sailcloth, and Challenge Sailcloth.
