VSP Racing SailsWe listen.
Our goal is to produce the very
best sail for you. As your sailmaker, we share in your passion for racing and
your desire to be successful. We will do our very best to provide you with the
sails, service and support you need to achieve your goals.
Design- All VSP sails are
designed using CRAIN sail design software. This modern design software allows
us to view the sail in 3D, incorporate super smooth vertical seam shaping and
orient the load bearing fibers of each sail panel individually - creating high
performance sail that retains it's designed shape longer.
Materials-
We can choose the
very best materials for your project. We are an independent sailmaker, so we can
choose from any cloth supplier in the world. We are not obligated to use any
specific manufacturers products or materials: we choose the best material
available for the job.
Cutting- We have all of our sail panels
cut at our sister loft, Maine Sailing Partners. Their Carlson C2
plotter/cutter uses a high resolution rotary blade and drag knife and it has a
higher tolerance than a laser cutter. This ensures the design shape is
transferred to the actual material.
Construction- There is no substitute for
experience. We have developed proven techniques over years of building custom
sails. We are continuously testing new processes and techniques to add value to
every sail we make. We also build innovative new products such as D4 and
Maxx sails.
R&D- As part of our dedication to providing
you with the finest sails available, we are constantly test new products and new
techniques. We use the Ultra-Bond stitch free seaming process on upwind sails.
We build stitch free downwind sails. Over the years, we have built sails from a
wide variety of innovative sail materials like Technora. Kevlar, Pentex, AirX,
PBO, Carbon and Cuben Fiber.
