Premium Sails, Based In Victoria.
At Kraken Sails, we put boat owners in the driver’s seat. Our sails aren’t off-the-shelf, every sail is custom built to your boat, your needs, and your performance goals. We combine top designers with cutting-edge manufacturing to deliver sails that fit like a glove, last longer, and perform harder, without the sky-high price tag.
We’re sailors, innovators, and craftsmen who don’t settle for generic or mass-produced sails. We create high-performance, tailor-made sails that give you the edge on the water. With Kraken, you get a product that’s built for real sailors who understand the difference, without compromise.
Are you our customer?
We work for sailors who want high-performance design without the premium price tag of the monopoly lofts. Whether you’re racing offshore and putting everything into an Osaka or Hobart campaign, or want to kick-ass in one design on S80’s, Kraken Sails is your partner in achieving your goals.
At Kraken Sails, we create the kind of sails that make a difference on the water. The kind of sail you hoist when you want to dominate the fleet, reach the next port faster, or gain that winning edge. It’s not a sail from a standard mold—it’s a sail crafted with precision, designed to perform, and made with the right fabrics and fittings to deliver.
Our singular goal is to make every sail that bears the Kraken Sails logo a game changer.

The modern answer to cutting edge sail design
Based In Geelong, With a Global Vision
We’re here to make high-performance, bespoke sails accessible to sailors around the globe. Sails that we’d be proud to hoist ourselves—effortless to trim, and designed to thrive in every environment our owners dare to explore.
Starting Locally, Branching out Globally
We’ve reimagined the traditional loft model to focus on what matters—design, manufacturing, and performance. By cutting out outdated overheads and leveraging modern tools in software, logistics, and communication, we’re able to put more into what counts: creating the best sails for real sailors.
Decades of Expertise
We’ve partnered with the best membrane and laminate factory, with over 20 years of experience, and built quality assurance and finish standards that we’d trust on our own bluewater boats. We’ve streamlined the process so you have certainty in pricing, delivery timelines, and warranty—making it easy for you to get the sail you need, when you need it.
Our Team
We’ve gathered a team of seasoned sailmakers—experienced professionals from Sail GP, Admiral's Cup, and the like—who live and breathe performance. We give them the resources they need to focus on designing sails that push boundaries, while our logistics and communication experts handle the rest, ensuring you get a smooth, seamless customer experience.
Our Design Vision
To create an environment where we can attract the best designers and free them from the day-to-day of running a loft. No more chasing orders, returning phone calls on repairs, or bouncing between clubs to drop of or pick up sails.
They are free to create the best possible product, and leave all of the business process and followup to their the Kraken team.
None of the constraints of franchise sail models and moulds, and no local loft management weighing them down, just the best software tools and a truely blank canvas to design sails that work for the specifics of your boat.
Our Kraken designers have worked in the highest echelons of world class racing, and we’ve built a model to empower them to cook.
Precision Engineering
For the best product, that cutting edge design needs to be supported with precision engineering. Laser cutting sail panels on giant 2-axis CNC's takes space, and 20 years of manufacture means the investment has been made in the tooling needed to create the most modern and efficient sails on the market.
Fittings Matter
We use industry standard sail cloths including Dimension-Polyant, Challenge and Contender, and pair them with Seldén and Rutgerson for our hardware, so that our fittings are as strong as our sails.
Quality Assured
You check your measurements, and so do we. From making sure that the correct level of finish is applied to your sails (like gluing seams), to checking every measurement at 4 points of the build process, we know that when you receive your sails they'll be correct. And if they aren't, we would never dream of 'fixing' your brand new sail, we'd build you a new one.
Backing up design with Manufacture
Our factory has been manufacturing world class sails for over 20 years.
We have one of the only factories in the world that can print membrane sails to order.
We do a banging job of radial cut laminates too.
