Ibiza Sails - Velería y tapicería náutica en Ibiza

Ibiza Sails is a sail-making and marine upholstery workshop in Ibiza that manufactures and repairs sails for sport and recreational boats, and creates complete upholstery for boats and yachts. It was founded to offer top-quality sails on the island. It combines artisan craftsmanship with the latest technology in sail design, and approaches every project with a pioneering spirit and a sense of adventure. Its workshop is located in the Montecristo Industrial Park (Carrer des Mayans 32, Unit 23) and offers a pickup and delivery service.

Sails: Design, Construction, and Repair

The sail is responsible for a sailboat’s performance, which is why Ibiza Sails pays special attention to every project:

• 3D Design: Its software renders the sail in three dimensions, simulates sailing conditions, and analyzes the pattern from different perspectives before cutting.
• Manufacturing: They work with XL industrial sewing machines, specially manufactured for sailmaking.
• Repair: They repair all types of sails and know the treatment and care each material requires.

They make sails for racing (competition and club) and cruising boats:

Sail Type	Use
Mainsail	Main sail, on boom or furling
Genoa / furling headsail	Upwind and beam reach; with optional UV protection
Gennaker	Downwind sailing without a spinnaker pole
Spinnaker	Downwind sailing in racing and cruising

Quote with Measurement Sheets

On their website, you’ll find measurement sheets that you can download as PDFs or fill out online for the mainsail, the furling headsail, and the spinnaker. They collect data such as the luff, leech, crossbars, reefing points, furler, and the color of the UV protection. This ensures that both the quote and the sail are tailored to your boat.

Custom Marine Upholstery

Their upholstery division manufactures complete upholstery for pleasure boats and yachts:

• Biminis, sprayhoods, and camper tops.
• Lazy bags and spinnaker socks.
• Anchoring covers and winter covers.
• Covers for boats.
• Cushions, bow sun deck, and custom seat upholstery.

We work with different types of foam (closed-cell, dry-feel, etc.) and an unlimited range of colors, using the most durable and comfortable fabrics. They handle everything, from pattern-making to final installation, so that everything fits perfectly and the finish is flawless. They also repair any marine upholstery and offer an express repair service.

Practical Guide: How to Extend the Life of Your Sails

• Rinse them with fresh water after sailing and dry them before storing them.
• If the sail is furling, check the UV protection strip: when it deteriorates, the sun damages the fabric.
• Don’t let the sail flap: flapping breaks seams and lacing.
• Check seams, grommets, and eyelets every season: a timely repair prevents a tear.
• In winter, take down the sails or cover them with a lazy bag or a sail cover.

Why Choose a Local Sailmaker in Ibiza

The sun and salt in the Pitiusas take a toll on sails and canvas. With a sailmaker on the island, the sail doesn’t have to be shipped to the mainland for repairs, and the workshop can take measurements directly on the boat. With the pickup and delivery service, you don’t even have to leave your mooring.
