PolySail International

High Performance/Low Cost Sails for Small Sailboats

 

 

PRODUCTS

World’s largest supplier of polytarp sails and kits.

Our motto: “Buy low; live slow; sail fast!”

 

We currently offer two different types of packages/kits to meet the needs of the experienced or novice sailor:

§         FINISHED POLYSAILS are individually constructed, handmade sails that we carry in inventory or construct for you. Currently we carry an in-stock 60 sq. ft. Leg ‘O Mutton or Jib-Headed, Sprit-Boomed Sail (different names for the same sail) that fits the Bolger Brick, Cartopper, Elegant Punt, Gypsy, June Bug, Surf, Ruben’s Nymph, Sweet Pea, and Teal, as well as David “Shorty” Routh’s PDRacer and many other 16’ and under boats. CLICK HERE TO SEE HOW THIS SAIL IS CONSTRUCTED  We also offer a larger version of this sail that is 85 sq. ft. and includes a window option. Both of these stock sails are available in five reinforcement trim colors, including royal blue, bright red, forest green, leather brown, and plain white (default color). Include your color choice when you submit your order for this sail.

Royal Blue

Bright Red

Forest Green

Leather Brown

Plain White

 

We also construct custom-ordered sails at the lowest rate you are likely to find. Our rate for three-sided sails is $2.50 sq. ft. For four-sided sails, the rate is $2.75 sq. ft. Overseas customers find that finished sails cost considerably less to ship than the much heavier kits. Click here for examples of just a few of the sails we have constructed: POLYSAIL PICTURES  Call Dave at 317 385-3444 or email polysail@polysail.com for a quote on custom sails.

§        BRIGHT WHITE POLYSAIL KITS (OUR BEST) contain everything you need to make a taped or sewn sail that looks and performs like one of the expensive synthetics. These kits include all the components listed in the chart below and provide ample materials for your sail project. We no longer offer partial kits, but you can order additional items for inclusion in your kit when shipped.

If you live in the continental US, shipping costs are automatically added to the kit price when you order through PayPal using the “Buy Now” buttons.  If you are outside the continental US, including Alaska and Hawaii, PLEASE email a request for a SAIL or Sail KIT cost quote.  We ship international orders by Priority Mail International (6-10 days). We encourage overseas customers to order finished sails rather than kits because of the cost of mailing the heavier kits versus the lighter finished sails. Within the continental US we ship by USPS Parcel Post (usually 4-5 days) or by USPS Priority Mail (2-3 days) if the price is within $2.00 of the Parcel Post cost. 

 

FINISHED WHITE POLYSAILS

Finished White PolySails come ready to attach to your mast. These sails are hand cut to size, darted (if necessary), and taped. Next, the corners are reinforced and the edges and corners are stitched with Dabond V-69 polyester sailmaker’s thread. Finally, the corners and edges are grommeted prior to shipment. All corner grommets are heavy-duty, 7/16” ID spurred grommets. Please indicate your choice for the reinforcement trim color in the “notes” section that will appear when you order through the PayPal “Buy Now” buttons.

BRIGHT WHITE POLYSAIL KITS (OUR BEST)

Our larger White PolySail Kits now come with scissors as well as a utility knife. Several of our customers have mentioned that, with the cost of fuel, the price of our kits is generally lower than they would spend driving to stores and/or trying to order the same materials and components online. Many have also noted the convenience of having all sailmaking materials available in one package. Once constructed, however, it is the appearance and performance of their PolySails that customers most value.

Our white polytarp material is canopy grade and is suitable for many other uses, including boat covers, camping and picnic ground covers, tent flies, wood and machinery covers, temporary roof covers, landscaping projects, and play projects. All our tarps are made from U-V protected, washable, waterproof, shrink proof, rot proof, rip-resistant white polyethylene. Seams are electronically welded for strength, corners are reinforced and grommeted, and all edges are likewise reinforced and grommeted with rust resistant grommets approximately every 18 inches. Our tarps are 5.5-6.0 oz. (regular) to 8.0 oz. (heavy) per true sq. yd. (not the smaller sailmaker’s yard), and are made of a 12 x 12 to 14 x 14 per sq. in. inner layer of woven polyethylene strands covered by outer layers of sheet polyethylene. As a sail material, white polytarp resists punctures, tears, stretching, and blowouts.
