Building on the UK Sails Tradition in every way
Since its founding by Charles “Buster” Ulmer, the UK I NE Loft has been synonymous with innovation, integrity and service. We are building on that tradition by continuing to offer the best-in-class buying experience.
Building on our legacy
Since 1946, UK Sailmakers | NE has made custom racing sails for all sizes of boats ranging from small one-design racers to maxi yachts. Throughout those seven decades, we have remained passionate about perpetuating the “Art of Sailmaking.”
The Best Design Tools
Through research & development involving new sail design techniques and cutting-edge materials, our sails have remained fast and durable to discerning sailors around the world...creating tremendous value for our customers.
Sails That Fit Out of the Bag
Measuring every boat we build a sail for and inputting that data into our design software ensures a perfect fit.

Delivering Value
We know that not every owner has an unlimited budget for sails. As such, we will sharpen our pencils to provide the best price on any sail in our line-up. In today’s world of ordering things online, we know you can get less expensive sail, but you end up getting what you pay for. UK Sailmakers | Northeast delivers performance sails that are well designed, durable, and priced so they deliver a true value.
