ABOUT LOFT
We design and hand make covers and bags for boats from stem to stern, always focusing on style, performance and durability. All of our solutions are designed and custom made to be the perfect fit.
“My technical knowledge of sailmaking and sailing allow me to provide textile solutions for yachts that not only look fantastic but perform when the pressure is on.
My passion for sailing led me to into a career in sailmaking, which I started as a 13 year old, helping out after school in a small sail loft in New Zealand. Since then I have done 3 America’s Cups with Team Alinghi as well as working for various Grand Prix sailing teams, like RAN Racing for 3 seasons and I am currently involved in the Sail GP circuit.”

OUR CLIENTS
“Robertissima is a competitive sailboat and needs to be in top condition at all times. The Loft made our team some waterproof lightweight spinnaker bags that have made keeping the sails dry and ready for competition a breeze. The Loft have a level of expertise that only a competitive sailor could understand”
– Robertissima
“Thank you Loft for the bags; they work very well for our team, carrying all the spare parts and sails required during events. The bags proved to be even more impressive while packing up as it held 2 booms, 3 mains and 3 jibs which resulted in a much quicker pack up than usual. Great design and easy to use. Thanks again for taking this project on for the NZ Sailing Team on such short notice. Much appreciated.”
