Established in 1946, UK Sailmakers is one of the oldest lofts in North America. Over 50 years later, the UK group has 25 lofts and service centers around the world.
UK has been on the leading edge of sail development ever since the late '40's when Ulmer Sails dominated the Star class and other one-designs like 5.5 Meters, Snipes, Lightnings and Comets.
Over the past decade, UK continues to develop our leading-edge load-path technology Tape-DriveĀ® sail construction system.
Tape-Drive is a patented construction method that enables UK to build sails that last longer, hold their shape better and weigh less.
