We design and manufacture new sails for boats up to 40’.
At Sailcrafters, we believe that durable sails are not just a luxury, but a guarantee. Whether an advanced one-design racer or an adventurous cruiser, Sailcrafters will match the right sails to fit your rig.
We are an official UK Sails dealer, bringing world-class designs and manufacturing to the Midwest.
Through UK Sailmakers we are proud to be able to offer a wide variety of One Design sails and tuning guides.
One Design sails are specifically designed to give the highest performance regardless of the condition. This means the same asymmetrical spinnaker is going to keep you and is going to keep you going in light wind.
UK Sailmakers has over 25 One Design classes with designs ready for sails, including eight different J boats, and is ready to design a class legal sail for you if your boat falls outside the prepared designs.

A partnership as durable as our sails
As of January 2023, Sailcrafters is teaming with UK Sailmakers International.
Founded in 1946, UK Sailmakers is one of the world’s most established groups of sailmakers, with nearly 50 lofts and service centers. Owned by local sailors, UK lofts retain the personal touch and provide quick, high-quality service along with well-designed, long-lasting sails with the most advanced design technologies and materials. Check out this article from Seahorse magazine about Pat Considine, UK Sailmakers head designer.
As UK Sailmakers Minneapolis, a UK Sailmakers Service Loft, we will continue to build, service, and repair all types and sizes of sails and canvas. The Sailcrafters loft will also still offer the full service rigging and support we are known for.
