We really like our Dacron sails — As much as we've always liked the tarp sails for their value and independance, we have the Dacron sails on our boats and we think you'll enjoy them on your boat as well!

We have great looking sets of Dacron sails cut to the dimensions of the plans forour Pocket Yachts: the Weeknder, Super Skipjack (the Weekender and Super Skipjack use the same set of sails), the Vacationer, and the Pocket Cruiser coming soon. They're strong, durable, and come in nice sail bags. The grommets are tight and strong, the shape looks like it may even be better than the old sails we had custom-made for our boat, the corners are well done with multiple reinforcing patches and strong corner rings pressed in, there's a leech-line, tell-tales, nice hanks for the jib, sail bags; everything we might need or want in a great set of sails. They're made from 4oz Dacron and will last many years (our first set is working on it's second decade already!) These sail sets are made for us by Rolly Tasker, a good company which makes sails for America's Cup boats, among other things.

We used to offer the Sail Sets without reefing points, as we prefer to scandalise the main (dropping the gaff peak to reduce the mainsail area quickly), however we've come to feel that limits our sailing options a bit. Reef points are now an option for our all our Sail Sets in case you'd like to go out when the wind's going to stay good and breezy all day!

The photo at the left shows a Weekender Sail Set, but the sets for the other boats look the same (just slightly different dimensions.) The details and method of construction is the same regardless of which boat your are ordering Sail Sets for—They're all great!

These are standard white Dacron, but other colors are available upon request, as noted below. The sail bag colors vary; we try to match them but ultimately we will send what we have available.

This includes a Main and Jib with all the normal bells-and-whistles: leech-lines, tell-tales, stainless hanks, sail bags, great construction, etc! Shipping costs vary (even in the US now) and will be determined when you order.

It is possible to order custom sets of sails in Tanbark or Cream/Natural, and even other colors. Tanbark or Natural is 15% over the standard prices and we can check on the cost of other colors for you as you require. Adding reef points is also an additional 15% for either set.

We try to keep a few sets on hand at all times, but in the late Spring it gets a bit busier usually and we can run out. Call or e-mail to order sail sets as we should check our stock (that's why we don't have a PayPal link on the Ordering Page.) If we have to have more sets of sails made, or if you'd like a custom set in a color or with modifications, it usually takes about 3 to 5 weeks for them to get here. International orders will need to check with us for shipping costs.

These are some photographs which show the Sail Set details. These photographs are of a set of Weekender sails; the method of manufacture is the same for the other boats. No matter which of our designs you're building, these are strong, reliable sails which should stand up to many years of hard use!
