► In Cape Town, where the largest production center of sailmaker Ullman Sails is now located, we discovered not just one sail-loft floor, but five or six! However, the story didn't begin in South Africa: it was in Newport Beach, California, that David Ullman, at the time aged just 21, built his first sail loft. The year was 1967. 12 years later, a second site was opened in Dallas, and growth continued throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Today, Ullman Sails is represented in 25 countries and has 75 sites. The largest of these is in Cape Town, South Africa, and this is the one we got to visit. There is a staff of 120, and sails of all materials are made here. There's one workshop dedicated to the manufacture of FiberParth membranes. It's also on these floors that the sails for the Leopard range - and many other catamarans built in South Africa - are made. Over the past 30 years, more than 100,000 sails have been produced here! The sailmaker is also diversifying its activities with a clothing range, Six Seven by Ullman. ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 500 multihulls tests!

With all these conversations on how to get kids hooked on sailing, we think we have the solution with the Weta. What other boat can you unfurl the screecher, reach along at 12 knots and give a kid who is doing an introduction to sailing course the helm?

Aloha! At the age of 58, my body has changed and I have Bat Wings--cue the music. We live on our sailboat and here is a quick exercise for women to aid in toning the Bat Wings. I am using cans of pasta sauce, because that is what we have on our sailboat. No room for weights? Grab some cans of pasta sauce. We would love to get social with you.
