Fantastic service, fixed our sail quickly when we tore a seam en route elsewhere so didn't delay our plans too much. If you're lucky you'll even meet a cute four-legged helper!
Good jobs, very good. A1.
Why Boatshed Sailmakers?
Boatshed Sailmakers began in Y Felinheli, building a reputation for quality marine textiles across North Wales. In 2018, our acquisition of JKA Sailmakers in Pwllheli brought two respected lofts together under one roof — and moved the whole operation to our larger Pwllheli site.
