Sails in production at Ratsey & Lapthorn, Cowes

Sails will be ready for the summer!

We spot a post on Facebook:

“Mainsail for a beautiful, fully restored east coast (UK) gaff cutter. Traditional sail with narrow panels. Headsails already completed again with narrow panels, traditional mitre cut and of course handwork that only Ratsey & Lapthorn can produce.”

“There is only one standard of work in this loft and that is the very best.” T W Ratsey, 1833 Ratsey & Lapthorn

We check whether these sails are actually ours, and yes, they’ll soon be ready to collect . . .
