About the new genoa....IT IS FANTASTIC!!!!!! We are now in Tahiti and have put nearly 7,000 miles on it without any problem at all. VERY pleased with the sail.”Bob Bechler, Gulfstar 44 Sisiutl
What can we make happen for you?
Nick Jaffe recently completed a singlehanded voyage from Amsterdam to Australia.
When Nick blew out a headsail enroute to Hawaii we were delighted to be the sailmaker he chose for his replacement genoa. We shipped him a new sail within a week, meeting a critical dealine. Here is what Nick had to say about his experience with the genoa we supplied:
The sail was amazing, and still looks like new. After receiving the Island Planet sail in Hawaii, I didn't make a single headsail change for the next 4500nm... We battled winds from 5kts to 50kts across the equator, through lows in the Tasman sea, and arrived unscathed. Probably against manufacturer recommendation on more than one occasion, the sail was furled into a storm jib and held the boat hove-to....
We are proud to have Nick join our group of voyaging customers and circumnavigators. Bob Bechler a repeat customer, who is quoted on the right hand side of this page, has sailed 50,000 miles since 2002. We also built working sails for singlehanded circumnavigator Gary Gould and several successful Pacific Cup boats. Whether you plan to tackle the world or enjoy a lesiurely daysail on a serene lake, Island Planet Sails will provide the right sails and the best values. We also provide in depth consultation when needed and help our customers to separate industry hype from reality.
Speaking of Gary Gould, we want to issue out heartiest congratulations for him winning his division in the 2010 SHTP (Singlehanded Transpac) race. The question in our mind is will Gary keep going and do a second circumnavigation. In any case we are proud to have our sails aboard his Islander 36 Pakele.
We invite our customers to help us find worthy organizations to support. Our goal is to donate 10% of our net profit to environmental organizations that are dedicated to preservation and protection of the world's oceans.
