Replacement main being sent out today. Got to keep you guys sailing, order here http://www.catsails.co.uk

3 trips to the Post Office this week , so lots of the holiday orders cleared. And a reminder that if you fancy having more than one colour as your finger patches, then just add a note on your order and we can do that for you. click here to get straight to us http://www.catsails.co.uk .

The weather in the UK reminds me of this trip to West Lancs Y C! The Sail loft is open for the new year and we look forward to another busy year.

The rescue boat had to be used to break up the ice on the seawater lake for the racing to be able to start.

Best wishes to all. Last day in the sail loft today, and we re open on the 5th January. The online shop will happily take your orders throughout our break, so if you want to get your name on the production list for 2026, get those orders in. All the best for the holidays, Nigel, Sue & Ness

First of several trips to our local Post Office this week…

Earlier this summer we made a soft-launch of our range of rig components and other hardware on www.catsails.co.uk while we geared ourselves up for a full launch, and here we are today with the launch of our Cat Components web shop.

The popularity of our range of products over these last few month far exceeded our expectations and we would like to thank all those of you who have already purchased our products and give us such wonderful feedback.

We started off with sail marking stencils for the DF and IOM classes and while we enhanced those, we started developing rig components for the IOM class.

Thanks to a number of very supportive field testers we were able to refine and improve the products and today we are proud to produce a wide range of products for the radio sailing community.

In this very competitive market place we wanted to fill a gap that has opened up for competitively priced self-produced components that meet the needs of radio sailors around the world.  To date our products have found their way to all corners of the UK as well as the USA, Australia, Sweden, Japan, New Zealand, Canada, Eire and France.

Our product range consists mainly of items that are 3D printed, thus keeping the production times and costs down, allowing us to pass those efficiencies over to you.

Now that we are fully established with our separate web shop for our components and other radio sailing accessories we will remove the product range from the  Catsails webshop and use that to focus on the sails and accessories like it always has, and use Cat Components for this new range of components and accessories.

Thank you to all of you that have already purchased our products, those of you who have and continue to test our products in the real world, and all of you who have taken the time to read this message.

We look forward to continuing to supply our components this you through Catsails and Cat Components.

We have counted over half the fleet as Catsails Skippers, and what a fight at the front between Brad, Ken, Brian, Peter, Tony and Eric – 5 out of 6 them Catsails skippers. We had Catsails skippers performing amazingly through out the fleets, well done all of you from us here at Catsails – 54 boats on the scoreboard – great event for the class.

So we are the 1st October today – how about beating the Christmas rush for orders and get your orders in this month. Catsails make performance sails for the IOM, DragonFlite 95 and DragonForce 65 classes. Our custom made accessories make great Christmas presents – boatbags, foils bags, transmitter snugs and rig bags.

To our valued American Customers – please note that due to the new US customs protocol that has now been introduced, as from today we have had to suspend all our exports to the USA until a formula has been worked out to calculate and cover these new tax/duties. We are sorry and will be keeping a close eye on the developing situation. kind regards Nigel & Sue

Sorry to have not been able to go to the TT but we will back for the next one!! Congratulations to all our loyal Catsails’ Skippers – a great showing of high finishes. See you all soon.
