How is Kraken Different?
We take the best sail designers in the country, pair them with a world class manufacturing centre and produce the best sails you can buy for your boat, at an affordable price.
And we’re wholly Australian Owned.
Pure Design
Our designers design. that's it - no measuring, no running errands, we free their time to focus on the design of your sails, so you get a fantastic product.
World Class Manufacure
Our factory has been making laminate, woven and membrane sails for over 20 years, and doing it for the best in the business. We have the capability to produce the most modern concepts, and aren't limited by constraints of a small local loft.
Killer systems
We know that the connection between design and implementation is the make or break between a great outcome, and we've build systems and processes to make sure details cannot be overlooked, and timelines are met.
The modern answer to cutting edge sail design
Every now and then a boat will have one category killing sail in their wardrobe - a sail they can hoist in the right wind window and destroy their fleet, or reach the next port a little sooner.
It's a sail that was designed properly, not just made from a predefined mould or model. And a sail that was then manufactured with the right fabrics and fittings to work the way it was designed.
Our singular goal is to make every sail that bears the Kraken Sails logo a category killer.
To do it consistently, we've had to redesign the industry

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.
