Racing Genoas, Headsails, and Jibs
UK Sailmakers creates racing sails for all kinds of boats, sailors, and budgets. Using advanced computer modeling and analysis, our designers craft headsails, genoas, and jibs that deliver speed, control, and reliability under the demands of the race course. Whether you’re competing in a one-design fleet or pursuing offshore racing, our cutting-edge materials and construction—including Titanium membranes, X-Drive® load-path reinforced laminates, and Matrix® spinnakers—help every sail perform at its peak.
For upwind performance, our X-Drive® and Titanium headsails maintain shape and power across a wide range of conditions. ISL (Integrated Structural Luff) technology can be added to new Titanium and X-Drive® headsails, Code Zeros, and select specialty sails for a game-changing advantage.
Even for sailors on a budget, UK Sailmakers ensures every sail is built to a higher standard than off-brand alternatives, with properly sized corner and reef patches, premium hardware, and durable UV covers protecting stitching and webbings. The result is a sail that retains its aerodynamic shape, makes handling smooth, and helps you sail fast and smart.
