Oude Haven Canvas Works

Sail repairs, dodgers and bespoke covers.

The workshop

We carry a small loft of secondhand sails, sorted and tagged; ask for the list before you order new.

A sail loft in Amsterdam, working in Dacron, laminate and traditional cotton canvas. New sails, repairs, and full re-cuts to old plans.

Heavy canvas work — boom covers, dodgers, sprayhoods, awnings — is hand-finished on a Pfaff 545 and double-stitched at the load points.

Twelve seasons on the main, re-cut twice

— owner pickup

Replaced a torn dodger in a morning. We sailed out at noon.
