Sails for Racing, Cruising, One Design & Classic Yachts
Sanders has been at the heart of British sailmaking since 1975. Founded by Managing Director Peter Sanders, the company remains family-run and now employs more than 20 highly skilled Sailmakers and Covermakers in our purpose-built Lymington loft.
Our reputation has been built on uncompromising attention to detail, award-winning customer care, and a commitment to innovation. From traditional woven fabrics to the very latest custom carbon laminates, including our new Sanders Filmless Membrane (SFM) technology, we are leading the way in performance sailmaking. Alongside this, our dedicated cover department produces some of the highest-calibre bespoke yacht and marine covers in the industry.
When you order with Sanders, you work directly with our in-house experts, who guide you through every stage of the process to ensure your sails and covers perform perfectly. Our service doesn’t end at delivery – we offer full repair facilities, professional sail washing and winter storage, along with an after-sales care programme that has been recognised across the marine industry.
Sustainability is at the heart of how we operate. Through recycling, upcycling, and supporting local charities, we are working diligently to minimise our environmental impact and make a positive contribution to our community.
Sanders proudly carries the ‘Made in Britain’ mark, along with being a multi-award-winning marine manufacturer dedicated to making sails and covers of the highest calibre.
Wishing Everyone a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!
