Dedicated to building the finest, most durable and technologically advanced sails possible, DOYLE Caribbean is the sailmaker of choice for both the hardworking charter boats and intrepid cruisers.
There are a number of factors differentiating us from the competition with the most important being the materials we use, and that all of the principals of Doyle Caribbean live, work and sail in the environment in which our sails need to perform. We see ours and everyone else's sails in our repair facilities and it is these observations which have lead to the development of our Offshore and Coastal Plus sails.
Fabric is the greatest determinant of longevity, both the quality of the fiber and geometry of the weave, and we have worked for almost thirty years developing fabrics which will withstand the UV we experience in the tropics and better hold a designed shape in tradewind conditions.
Three choices. No compromise.
We have a number of crewed charter boats with sails in use twenty plus weeks a year that are over fifteen years old and world cruisers with over sixty thousand miles. Our confidence is so high in our Offshore sails that we are the only company in the industry warranting our workmanship and materials for five years or fifty thousand miles.
Recognizing that sails on privately used boats aren't exposed to the same stresses and usage as boats in charter or world cruising we have developed a product named Coastal Plus. The differences between Offshore and Coastal Plus are a five year warranty, double tapes on the sail edges and box style reinforcing patches versus a two year warranty, single tapes on the edges and radial corner reinforcing. The same fabrics and our stitch protection coating are used for both.
SAIL COATING EXCLUSIVELY CARIBBEAN
Along with great fabric we have developed with Harris Paints' chemists a proprietary non-yellowing coating, which is applied to all of the stitching on our Offshore and Coastal Plus sails to protect it from chafe and UV. With our stitch protection coating even the outer row of stitching on a roller furling genoa, left exposed 24/7/365, will last five plus years before needing to be re-stitched; unexposed stitching is likely to last the life of the sail.
Our product using the same commercially available fabrics coming out of Europe, South Africa, and the Far East.
