Many of the racing sail are made with carbon or kevlar for strength. Some of the sail we recycle are these types of sail. They are not the traditional white that you see so commonly on our website. Below are three custom orders that use these alternative sails - We love the "pops" of color. What do you think?

In the heat of summer, it's hard to believe that fall is just around the corner (especially these last few days). Following the lead from summer colors, fall is all about bright vibrate colors. The hues are definitely becoming more and more intense with deep saturation. One color in particular that is leading the color trend is RED.
This classic color is gracing the runways of many designers this season. Outerwear, dresses, shoes, handbags, sweater and coats are all coming up red. There is even a lot of head-to-toe red. All red hues are the driving this trend and one thing is certain - the brighter the better! So call it apple, merlot, ruby, scarlet or tomato but just be sure to embrace this color whether you paint your nails red or throw on a bright red coat.
The best part of red fashions, are that they don't put you in the red. So, be bold and go paint the town red!
Finding Your Inner Animal

Animal print is not a trend in fashion; it now considered a fashion standard. In the past, furry fashions and animal prints have been considered high, expensive fashion - after all, a leopard coat is the classic, timeless fashion piece. Today, animal prints are more affordable, making it easier to add a single piece to complete an outfit. A leopard scarf or shoes can really update or complete an outfit.
Designers have continued to push the gamut and testing the limits of what is acceptable & breaking down so-called, "fashion boundaries." We've noticed a lot of color chances being taken with the animal print. For instance, a turquoise and tan zebra is not realistic but creates a more modern look - it’s fresh. These bold moves with color and persistence using animal prints are the reasons that this has become a fashion standard.
How do we brake through to the wild side in Maine? We can take creatures native to Maine like lobsters, seashells & whale tails and incorporate them into our designs. If nautical is hot right now, why not add some nautical creatures to push the envelope a bit further. And, its exciting that designers are branching out and trying new & fun ideas.... as I've said before balance is key.
Find your inner animal with some fun, new prints.

Color is everywhere this spring, there is no denying it. We have emerged from winter with a sunny disposition. Red, blue, green, yellow, orange and everything in between is making a huge in-pact in the fashion industry.
Traditionally spring and summer are more colorful times of the year in fashion and this seasons is no different. Make-up, handbags, shoes, dresses, pants, tops, even jewelry are popping up everywhere in vivid bright hues. The difference this time is the amount of color being used, it is an intense saturation and unusual combinations. It seems that designers just can get enough of the bold, impacting palettes & no color is off limits.
What makes this season's color palette modern? It is the intensity of the colors. New color needs to be bold, strong and dramatically rich. Layering intense colors, using tone on tone or complementary shades within the same family is great concept or way to execute. You want to choose more intriguing & complex colors, not primary colors. Unexpected pairings like camel and mustard, blue, green and mint, or red, burgundy and, orange are three examples. The idea is not to clash but exist harmoniously.
How can you incorporate this trend into your own fashion? One simple approach is to wear one or two brights with the basics. Black, white or khaki are all easy neutral starting points that are already in are closet. Then, add a vibrant color on top with a neutral or dark on the bottom. Start with the tones that most complement your natural coloring but don't be afraid to try something new. Surprisingly flashy colors cannot only perk up your wardrobe but really add life back into your complexion. Step out of your comfort zone and try it. With a kaleidoscope of colors to choose from right now, be a kid with a box of crayons - the possibilities are endless!
