First landfall after the Indian Ocean? Your sails deserve a proper look.

If you are working your way down the coast toward the Cape, Durban and Richards Bay are your last real chance to get your wardrobe sorted before the South Atlantic.

UK Sailmakers South Africa is a full manufacturing and repair loft based in Durban, and the only sail loft in Southern Africa outside Cape Town. We have spent many years building sails tough enough for this coastline, and we can handle anything from a chafe repair while you wait out the weather to a complete new wardrobe.

Cruising, performance cruising and racing sails. Repairs, servicing and covers. Representatives in Richards Bay, Durban and the Western Cape.
