If you’re bringing your sails into the loft for service or storage using a drawstring sail bag, you may be staring at that gold UK Sailmakers bag that’s been stashed below deck for months, or even years, wondering how your sail will ever fit. Trust us: over the years, our lofts have seen some very creative folding techniques! Getting your sails serviced before the spring sailing season is key to keeping them performing at their best, and catching small maintenance issues early can help prevent costly repairs down the road. Your local UK Sailmakers loft can inspect, repair, or clean your sails, and if you’re thinking about a new one, this is the perfect time to plan for spring delivery. We can help you create a multi-year plan to suit your needs, budget, and sailing goals. Some UK Sailmakers lofts also offer collection and installation services to make it easy to bring your sails in for repair, winter storage, or return. But if you’re dropping your sails off yourself and are wondering how to fit them into a standard drawstring bag, follow this step-by-step guide—it will save you time and make your sailmaker’s job easier. Step 1: Remove any battens and sheets from the sail and lay it out on a clean, flat surface—like a dock finger, sailing club lawn, or other smooth area. Avoid dragging the sail across rough concrete or other hard, abrasive surfaces. Step 2: Flatten about an arm span’s width of the foot, keeping the remainder of the sail neatly piled beside it without twists. Step 3: Grip the foot of the sail while holding the section for your first fold taut. Keep the height of your drawstring bag in mind and make folds slightly narrower than your sail bag’s height to ensure a good fit. Step 4: Continue flaking the sail back and forth, staying between the tack and clew, all the way to the head. You don’t need to stack the luff like you would for a racing sail “sausage bag,” though you can if you prefer. Step 5: Fold over the tack edge over, then roll the sail toward the clew. Step 6: Secure the rolled sail with sail ties and slide it into your drawstring bag. Done!

while we love the ocean 🌊 sometimes we need a break from sand and salt and we prefer to dip our toes in a swimming pool. Stay Salty, Greta and Michael on land ps: Michael hates the sand part 😂 he always say we own a sailboat so we can enjoy the ocean without having to touch the beach 🏝️ #sailinglife #boatlife⚓️ #sailboatlife #liveaboard #visitpanamá #panamá #panama
