Master sailmakers
Every sail reflects Ratsey & Lapthorn’s expert craft, honed over centuries and elevated by the relentless spirit of innovation. Our experienced sailmakers provide a unique finish which may include narrow panels to replicate the original bolts of 18 or 27-inch cotton, cream cloth to emulate the colour of the original cotton, chestnut stitching to highlight the seams, and an array of hand-finishing techniques from rat's tails, hand-sewn rings, bolt ropes, leatherwork, and external cringles.
