Marine Upholstery and Sail Making is an international business. 
There are Sail lofts in every corner of the globe and a huge demand for experienced staff and professional products.
Not only would this introduction course be beneficial to someone who wants to enter the Marine Industry or work in a sail loft, but it would be equally useful to:
 
An entrepreneur looking to start a small business at a low cost 
A crew member on a sailboat looking to increase their skills and add value to the team.
A Boat owners who want to reduce costs by having the skill set to repair and upholsterer their own boats. 

Although this is a stand alone course, students can go on to enjoy our intermediate and advanced courses down the line, and further enhance their skill set in this trade.

Graduates will have the fundamental skills to repair sails, template their
own patterns for cushions, sunshades etc, and manufacture the items.  
The course will also focus on different textile applications for sail boats and provide a step by step program from start to finish on how to make fabricated goods and even a small sail!

 

Aside from classroom & loft training, students will also be taken out to local Marinas to meet with clients and learn important marine terms, etiquette and the processes of measuring, pattern making and fitting aboard sailboats.

​
