EXE SAILS – RACES 4 & 5

exe sails

At Exe Sails & Covers, we believe in the personal touch, that when you are buying a sail, not only is it important to talk to the sailmaker who will do the work, but that your needs are met and your opinions taken on board.

Chris Scanes has been serving Topsham, Devon and the rest of the UK since 1983, as well as working for a number of reputable sail makers before that. With over 50 years combined experience in the sailmaking, marine and canvas manufacturing industries, we have a wealth of knowledge at our disposal to help in delivering the best service possible.  During the summer of 2013, Sam, Mac and Chris decided that to be able to offer the best service and as broad a range of products as possible, it was necessary to merge together and form a new business. Building on the skills and knowledge that Chris Scanes has built up over his many years in sailmaking and the passion we have for sailing, our team are offering and delivering new services and products within and outside the marine industry.
