Decades of experience. Commercial sailmaking machines. Sailcloth in stock. From a blown spinnaker to a torn main, we get you back on the water — fast.
Every repair made on professional commercial sailmaking machines by someone who actually races.
Tears, rips, delamination, blown seams, UV strip replacement, batten pockets, corner reinforcements, boltrope repairs, and full panel replacements. Minor or major — we handle it all.
Shredded kite after a rounding? We specialize in spinnaker repairs — from pinhole tears to major blowouts. Lightweight spinnaker cloth in stock for fast, clean repairs that hold.
On-site welding for stainless steel and aluminum. Custom brackets, fittings, rail repairs, bow pulpit work, step fabrication — if it needs to be strong, seaworthy, and built to last, we can build it.
Made-to-measure cockpit cushions, hatch covers, weather cloths, bimini repairs, and dodger work. Professional finish, premium materials, built for the marine environment.
We're not a drop-off-and-wait operation. We're sailors. We race out of Milford Yacht Club on Long Island Sound — we know what a blown kite feels like at the leeward mark, what a failing batten pocket costs you upwind, and how fast you need to be back on the water.
With commercial-grade sailmaking machines — including a 3-point and heavy-duty zig-zag that handles canvas, leather, and multiple layers — and sailcloth in stock, we don't wait on materials. Most repairs turn around in days, not weeks.
We serve the full Fairfield County coastline: Milford, Stratford, Bridgeport, Fairfield, Westport, Norwalk, Darien, Stamford, Greenwich — and anywhere along the Long Island Sound. If you can bring it to us or we can pick it up, we can fix it.
Based in Milford, CT — we're centrally located on Long Island Sound for easy drop-off from anywhere on the Connecticut shoreline.
Not on the list? Reach out anyway — if you're on the Connecticut shoreline or Long Island Sound, we can work something out.
Drop it off in Milford, CT. For larger jobs or if you're far down the Sound, reach out and we can arrange pickup. Email andrew@sailing-store.com to schedule.
Minor repairs — tears, seam blowouts, batten pockets — typically 1–3 business days. We carry sailcloth in stock so we're not waiting on materials. Major rebuilds depend on the scope; we'll give you an honest timeline upfront.
We carry spinnaker-weight cloth in stock. For color-critical repairs we'll be upfront about what we have — most kite repairs don't need a perfect color match to sail fast.
Stainless and aluminum welding is done at our Milford workshop. Bring the fitting, rail, or hardware to us — or in some cases we can come to you for larger structural jobs.
Yes. We sail and race one-design on Long Island Sound. Every repair is done to class-legal standards — we'll flag anything that could raise a protest.
Absolutely. Racing is our background but we work on all types — cruisers, offshore boats, day sailors. If it's on Long Island Sound or in Fairfield County, we can help.
Tell us what happened and we'll reply fast with a quote. No forms, no runaround — just real sailors solving real problems.
