Racing Sails

At Sanders Sails we engineer speed meticulously. Designed and built in our Lymington loft, every racing sail is created to your boat, your programme and your rating rule, then finished with the craftsmanship that has defined our name for decades.

We combine advanced 3D design and structural analysis with SMAR Azure’s integrated CAD platform to model load paths, refine flying shapes and control twist and draft with sub-millimetre fidelity. That precision carries through the build: panel geometry, seam allowances, corner structure and hardware are all optimised to deliver repeatable trim, low drag and long competitive life.

Choose the construction that fits your campaign:

• Performance Wovens: modern polyesters cut for reliability and value in club and one-design racing.
• Grand Prix Laminates: high-modulus fibre layouts and tri-radial panelling for low stretch, crisp handling and proven race durability.
• Sanders Filmless Membranes (SFM): our light, stable, film-free membranes for ultimate shape retention.

What makes a fast Sanders sail? Low stretch, accurate shaping and efficient load distribution. We specify fibres such as Twaron, Carbon and Dyneema where appropriate, align structure to the real loads your sail sees, and build in weight-smart reinforcements so the sail holds its designed profile across the wind range. Final quality checks and tune-up support ensure you leave the dock with confidence and come back quicker. Explore the range and let’s tailor a sail plan that turns breeze into boat lengths.
