Prepping for the 2011 Sailing Season

New in The Sail Loft…
We’ve upgraded the sail loft with the installation of our new Prosail plotter.

We spent the end of the winter expanding the sail loft to include our plotter room, then brought the team together to install and set up our plotter.
Now, with the bugs worked out & our own training completed, we’re plotting out sails & our stitching equipment is humming away!
