OFFSHORE CRUISING

 
ENGINEERED FOR ADVENTURE.

For those looking to venture further afield than their own local waters, Doyle Sails has a range of sails that offer the ultimate in offshore performance cruising. Doyle's Offshore sails are fully customized with exceptional handwork, chafe protection and construction details needed to provide thousands of miles of ocean sailing.

Building sails that endure extensive cruising is only achieved through an uncompromising commitment to sail technology. This includes the proper load analysis, detail specifications, sail engineering, cloth selection, and superior craftsmanship. Taking into consideration all of these factors, and the owner's future plans, every sail at Doyle is individually designed to fit all of these requirements using our advanced CFD/FSI software. These designs are then laser cut ensuring that the purity of the computer design will be transferred to the actual sail.

Doyle Sails offers a range of sails to suit every offshore sailors' needs, whether upwind or downwind, using either traditional panelled or state-of-art membrane construction.

The fabrics that are chosen to be part of the Doyle Sails Offshore Cruising range are selected according to their UV rating, stability and longevity. Doyle Sails only works with the worlds best cloth manufacturers to deliver sails that perform better and last longer than others.

It is imperative for the long distance cruising sailor that on board repairs can be easily facilitated without the requirement (in more cases than not) to bring the sail off the boat and into the local loft. Ensuring that all of the corners are adequately reinforced is paramount with each edge of the sail being strengthened with a heavier weight Dacron and stitched with two rows of heavy duty thread.

All of the webbing is straight stitched which insets the thread into the webbing for better protection from both chafe and UV.
