SAILORS FOR THE SEA

As part of our responsibility to ensure our planet is being respected, we only choose to partner with those organisations, events, clubs and stakeholders who uphold our Environmental Values.

Doyle partners with many sailing clubs globally, helping the next generation to learn and experience the thrill of being out on the water. We encourage all our partners to work towards responsible environmental practices and policies, and prefer to work with partners who are upholding the values and principles of the Sailors for the Sea ‘Clean Regattas’ programme.

SAILING LA VAGABONDE

Performance Multihulls continue to gain more momentum, and with more performance (or ‘velocidade’ as Riley refers to it) comes better handling and style. At Doyle Sails, this is our forte, and we’re very proud to have partnered with Sailing La Vagabonde on their journey around the world while we all live vicariously through their sailing adventures they share with us.

ROYAL AKARANA YACHT CLIB

The significant partnership agreement includes Doyle Sails being recognised as the ‘Official Sailmaker of the RAYC'. The partnership will see more support from Doyle Sails directed into the RAYC Academy and Learn to Sail fleets while playing a significant part in continuing to develop Blue Water sailing and the RAYC’s wider programmes.

SAILGP INSPIRE

“Doyle Sails has been working with the SailGP league since the inaugural season in 2019, and we we are proud to extend that to SailGP Inspire in 2021 and beyond. Our partnership brings together two entities who share similar philosophies on sustainability, supporting the next generation, and education. The SailGP Inspire partnership is something we are very proud of, to keep supporting the sailors who share the same passion for sailing as we do, is a great privilege”.

SAIL 2 SHELTER

Doyle Sails is proud to partner with Sail to Shelter, a non for profit organization headed by Angela Abshier, set up entirely to upcycle retired sails by converting them into shade and shelter for humanitarian aid organisations to support crises around the world. Sail to Shelter designs meaningful new uses for a sail’s second act.

TREES THAT COUNT

Supporting and promoting the ocean’s health is key to our future sustainability, and we continuously improve our actions to ensure we do what we can to protect our environment. As part of this commitment, alongside other partnerships, Doyle Sails donates a New Zealand native tree for every sail delivered from New Zealand, both locally and internationally. The ocean is our playground, and planting native trees contribute to healthier waterways and oceans.
