Description

Welcome to UK Sailmakers, LLC, City Island -- the original home of UK Sailmakers. The loft was founded by Charles and Charlotte Ulmer in 1946 as Ulmer Sails; their son Charles (Butch) Ulmer has operated the loft since 1970. This loft is a true family business with extensive ties to the Long Island Sound community.

Whether you use your boat for cruising, day sailing, or racing -- on the Sound or across oceans, our staff will help you get great sails and service. We have decades of experience making sturdy Dacron cruising sails as well as performance cruising and high-tech racing Tape-Drive sails.
For repairs, our service department prides itself in getting sails and Canvas fixed the same week that you bring them during the summer months. We don’t want you losing precious weekends on the water.
