FORCE 10 SAILS – CUSTOM MADE IN THE U.S.A.
Extend the Life and Performance of Your Sails
Ultimately, regular sail service and repairs are essential to extending the efficient service life of your sails. Modern sail materials, like Dacron, offer excellent resistance to UV light, saltwater, and rot, ensuring durability. However, these materials often outlast the stitching used to sew them together. Chafing from sails rubbing against rigging and hardware can degrade the stitching much faster than the fabric itself, compromising sail performance.
Sail Laundering
Did you know that periodic laundering can also help extend your sails’ life? Over time, dust, grit, and salt can accumulate in the fabric weave, causing internal abrasion that wears your sails out faster. Consequently, most sailmakers recommend a professional wash every couple of years.
At Force 10 Sails, we charge by the pound for washing. Simply weigh your sails, request a quote, and we’ll take care of the rest, ensuring your sails continue to perform at their best.
