ABOUT THIS LOFT

Doyle Boston Sails is a 3^rd generation sail making company. Howard Boston started making sails right out of high school in 1927, eventually opening his first loft in 1938 in Mt. Clemens, MI.

In 1968 the family expanded their company and a second loft was opened in Point Edward, Ontario under Spike Boston, Howards second son, specializing in one design and ice-boat sails.

In 1987 with growth and development in the industry toward more technological advancements, Boston sails joined forces with Doyle Sailmakers out of Marblehead MA. making Doyle Boston Sailmakers the oldest expansion loft.

While Spike introduced his two sons Tac and Brad at an early age to a lot of family-oriented boats, the two of them have been able to branch out into sailing at the higher end of racing fleets such as Viper 640, Vx, T10 Great Lakes fleet, Kerr43, TP52 and Custom 30’s, while still sailing the important Great Lakes fleets of U20, Shark, S2 7.9, J70 as well as continuously racing the Mackinac Races and SORC.

Even though Tac and Brad are into racing, the loft still really focusses production of the day sailor and cruising boats in providing sails with longevity and performance. These boats make up over 60% of what the loft does, so the focus is on supplying everyone with the best quality sails possible.

After 54 years they all take pride in producing quality sails out of the loft in Point Edward, Ontario, Canada.
