We currently offer two different types of packages/kits to meet the needs of the experienced or novice sailor:

§         FINISHED POLYSAILS are individually constructed, handmade sails that we either carry in inventory or construct for you. Currently we carry the 60 sq. ft. Leg ‘O Mutton or Jib-Headed, Sprit-Boomed Sail (different names for the same sail) that fits the Bolger Brick, Cartopper, Elegant Punt, Gypsy, June Bug, Surf, Ruben’s Nymph, Sweet Pea, and Teal, as well as David “Shorty” Roth’s PDRacer and many other 16’ and under boats. CLICK HERE TO SEE HOW THIS SAIL IS CONSTRUCTED  We also construct custom-ordered sails at the lowest rate you are likely to find. Our rate for three-sided sails is $2.50 sq. ft. For four-sided sails the rate is $2.75 sq. ft. Overseas customers find that finished sails cost considerably less to ship than the much heavier kits. Click here for examples of just a few of the sails we have constructed: POLYSAIL PICTURES  Call Dave at 317 915-1454 or email polysail@aol.com for a quote on finished sails.

§        BRIGHT WHITE POLYSAIL KITS (OUR BEST) contain everything you need to make a taped or sewn sail that looks and performs like one of the expensive synthetics. These kits include all the components listed in the chart below and provide ample materials for your sail project. We no longer offer partial kits.

Shipping costs are added when you order through PayPal using the “Buy Now” buttons.  Inside the continental US, we ship by US Postal Service Parcel Post (usually 4-5 days) or by Priority Mail (2-3 days) if the price is within $2.00 of the Parcel Post cost.  If you are outside the continental US, including Alaska and Hawaii, PLEASE email a request for a KIT cost quote.  We ship international orders by Priority Mail International (6-10 days). We encourage overseas customers to order finished sails rather than kits because of the high mailing costs associated with the heavier kits.

FINISHED WHITE POLYSAILS

Finished White PolySails come ready to attach to your mast. These sails are hand cut to size, darted (if necessary), and taped. Next, the corners are reinforced and the edges and corners are stitched with V-69 polyester sailmaker’s thread. Finally, the corners and edges are grommeted prior to shipment. Finished White PolySails are available only with white trim.

 

 

 

BRIGHT WHITE POLYSAIL KITS (OUR BEST)

Our larger White PolySail Kits now come with scissors as well as a utility knife. Several of our customers have mentioned that, with the cost of fuel, the price of our kits is generally lower than they would spend driving to stores and/or trying to order the same materials and components online. Many have also noted the convenience of having all sailmaking materials available in one package. Once constructed, however, it is the appearance and performance of their PolySails that customers most value.

Our white polytarp material is canopy grade and is suitable for many other uses, including boat covers, camping and picnic ground covers, tent flies, wood and machinery covers, temporary roof covers, landscaping projects, and play projects. All our tarps are made from U-V protected, washable, waterproof, shrink proof, rot proof, rip-resistant white polyethylene. Seams are electronically welded for strength, corners are reinforced and grommeted, and all edges are likewise reinforced and grommeted with rust resistant grommets approximately every 18 inches. Our tarps are 5.5-6.0 oz. (regular) to 8.0 oz. (heavy) per true sq. yd. (not the smaller sailmaker’s yard), and are made of a 12 x 12 to 14 x 14 per sq. in. inner layer of woven polyethylene strands covered by outer layers of sheet polyethylene. As a sail material, white polytarp resists punctures, tears, stretching, and blowouts.
