The tropical sun is no friend of sail cloth, or canvas of any kind for that matter. We humans too need biminis and awnings to protect us from the sun's ultra-violet rays if we're not to become too crispy.
Combined this the brisk winds of the northeast trades, and it's no surprise that sailmakers and repairers are in great demand in these parts.
The Islands listed here each have one or more sailmakers and repairers.
Clicking on the island will get their names and contact details.
If you know of any sailmakers, canvas workers or soft furnishers that should be listed here - but aren't - please let us know...
