ALLEN BROTHERS – RACE 2

Allen Brothers (www.allenbrothers.co.uk) has evolved over the last 60 years into a modern hi-tech company and although it has not strayed far from its engineering roots the company is now much more than a manufacturer.

 Since 2008 Allen Brothers has been marketing and distributing dinghy hardware to customers all over the world. Its technical sales team, who are skilled sailors, with an in-depth knowledge of our product range, works closely with the design team to provide customers with friendly product advice and a fast and efficient processing service.  The company also sponsors sailors from a variety of classes with whom it works to develop new and innovative products.

Every sail we supply is either computer cut or hand cut at the loft and assembled by Jim or Andy. We appreciate that buying sails is a serious investment. All the sails are made with the same attention to detail and finishing that means you can be assured that you are buying the same quality of product that the champions use.

EXE SAILS – RACES 4 & 5

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.
