Catalina 35 TR "Avalon" pulling down a nice class win at the Sloop Tavern Yacht Club Blakely Rock Benefit yesterday! Nice new Contender Sailcloth ZZA genoa and a new Nylite 90 A2 propelled Mark and team to victory.
We also recently completed all new standing rigging, hydraulic backstay and retractable bow sprit setup for Avalon.

The birth of a TP52 main. Built in ballard! Un - joined membrane panels all the way to race day! Big effort from everyone at the shop. With an exceptional design package from Fries Sail Design.
What a fun project from start to finish.

Some exciting news! We have joined the Doyle Sails group. Except for the name, nothing changes day to day. We have the same great team, same great service, and same comittment to the local scene.
We are now backed by the Doyle Sails global network to further our product range and options.
We are still able to build sails locally, and continue our existing product development.
Stay tuned for more details.
Let us know how we can help you get on the water this season!
