ABOUT THIS LOFT

Doyle Sails Cleveland and Great Lakes Rigging & Supply owner Jon Duer has established an excellent reputation for unsurpassed customer service in and around the Great Lakes Region.

Jon has 20 years of sail making experience, has attended Harken University, and is certified in hand splicing and knows all the ins and outs of proper deck hardware layout and installation. Jon uses his diverse and comprehensive knowledge of both sails and rigging to solve each customer’s distinct needs.

Jon grew up sailing on his family's Ericson 35 and has raced everything from dinghies to large offshore boats, which fueled his lifetime passion for sailing. Aside from local sailing, he has competed in Key West and Charleston Race Weeks and many of the NOOD and MAC regattas. Unlike many sailmakers and riggers, Jon has extensive cruising experience in addition to his impressive racing resume. Jon understands what both cruisers and racers are looking for and is anxious to help maximize his customers’ sailing enjoyment.

Jon’s local service and strong sail making background, teamed with the international resources of Doyle Sails, is a tough combination to beat.
