Hyde Sails grew from racing, and in particular, racing one-design dinghies. The need to eke out small differences in performance between identical boats imposes values of quality and discipline in the manufacture of sails that are not so important in other branches of sailmaking. The challenge of making sails of exactly the right shape, with top-class materials and faultless craftsmanship permeates through all the sails we make from racing yachts to classic gaff and square riggers.
Established over 55 years ago as Musto and Hyde, our famous red Flying Dutchman logo reflected Keith Musto’s Olympic success in that iconic dinghy. He went on to establish his very successful clothing range while the sail making business spread to manufacture sails for all types of boat varying in design and size. Hyde Sails have one of the biggest product ranges of any sailmaker in the world from Optimist dinghies to round the globe cruisers.
The best materials, technologically advanced design and manufacturing make Hyde yacht sails the ideal choice however you sail, wherever you sail what’s more at prices that are keen but not unrealistically cheap.
With sail making you tend to get what you pay for but there is no need to pay over the odds to get quality sails – we do not promise the cheapest sails, but we promise the best quality at the best price with the best designs and the best materials.
