Sailmakers operates with a central design team. This team
consists of highly qualified sailors who each bring
different strengths to the team. Richard Bouzaid as the
leading designer within the group leads the innovation and
research for the Doyle Design team. The design tools are
amongst the most advanced 3D modeling and airflow.

dimensionally model any sail at the actual flying shape

| ANALYSIS
PROGRAMS AVAILABLE |
| Specifics
such as projected wind range, crossover charts and specifics of an
individual sail can be modeled and predicted prior to the sail
even being fitted to the boat – making the racing and cruising
inventories more than just an estimation or guess at best as most
sailmakers have done previously. The design team has the resources
of all members of the Doyle group, which encompasses over 40
sailmaking operations. |
