Sailmakers takes pride in making our customers'
dreams become a reality. One way we do this is to
transfer our customers sketches, ideas or sponsorship
graphics onto sails. Doyle uses various
techniques to create the perfect look for each
customer:
INLAY:
Inlays are created by sewing the
desired design onto the sail and then cutting away
the backing of the sail to reveal an 'inlaid' image.
One advantage of inlays is that they do not increase
the weight of sail as appliqués do. However, for
large or detailed graphics, inlays can be more
expensive because of the higher labor required. This
technique can only be applied to downwind sails.
INK:
Inked on graphics have the advantage
of being very light weight. However, ink has the
disadvantage of being more prone to bleeding and (in
cases of heavy inking) flaking. But, if the exact
color is critical, inked on graphics allow an exact
color match and coverage over large areas. Certain
designs require specialized sign-writers to execute,
so price is very variable on this type of
application.
APPLIQUÉ: Vinyl appliqués can be a good
alternative for smaller, more detailed graphics.
Although they add weight to the sail (and are thus
inappropriate for larger designs) they can be
machine cut, requiring less labor time. Colors
available include: red, green, yellow,
black and blue.
