Why sailors choose Boatshed
150+ years combined experience
We're a team of skilled sailmakers with generations of craftsmanship between them.
An independent loft
We supply cloth from all the leading names and recommend what's genuinely right for your boat – not what we're tied to.
Local, on the water every day
Based in Pwllheli and working across North Wales every day. Measuring, pick-up and drop-off are just part of how we work.
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.

Ask us a questionWhere are you based, and how far do you travel?
We’re based in Pwllheli, North Wales, and work across the region — Abersoch, Caernarfon, Conwy, Holyhead and Anglesey. We deliver sails, canvas and covers across the UK and Europe.
Do I need to bring my boat to you?
Not always. For sails and canvas we template or measure on-site where needed, and we arrange pick-up and drop-off across the region. Just get in touch and we’ll sort the logistics.
How do I get a quote?
Tell us about your boat and what you need through our quote form, by phone or by email. Photos help. We’ll come back with honest advice and a clear price — no obligation.
Do you only work on sailing boats?
Sails are our heartland, but our canvas work, repairs and storage are for all kinds of boats — motor and sail. If it’s marine textiles, ask us.
Let's talk
Whether you need a new suit of sails, a quick repair before the season or a full canvas pack — get in touch and we’ll point you in the right direction.
