Skippers planning the purchase of new sails should consider the advantages of a custom loft located close to home. "I always like to meet with the customer face-to-face before I make the sail, " said Richard Hendrickson, president of Hendrickson Sailmakers, Inc "We design each sail individually based on the skills and habits of the owner, how his boat is rigged, what wind and sea conditions he encounters, and many other individual factors." "Mass market sail lofts can't provide the one-on-one attention necessary to create a sail customized to meet each boat owner's needs, " Hendrickson noted. "Skippers often consider installing new sail-handing gear, such as a roller-furling mechanism for the headsail when they buy a new sail. This is when a personal consultation with a local sailmaker is invaluable. I always put myself in the customer's position, and make a recommendation based on his boat and how he sails, " said Hendrickson, a veteran big-boat racer and bluewater cruiser who has 30 years of experience installing sail-handling gear. "I'm constantly in-touch with the latest products and technologies, and I frequently discuss what works and what does not work with other sailmakers and people in the marine industries who use these products every day. " This knowledge I pass on to, my customers." Hendrickson Sailmakers, Inc, sells and installs all types of sail handling equipment for the cruiser and the racer from the top manufacturers such as Harken, Solstadt, and ATN.
