Vintage Marbleheads is the focus this coming weekend!! Exciting.

It’s been all change at Catsails this past week or so, as Nigel has had the sewing machine out and made eight suits of beautiful detailed Vintage Marblehead sails out of ‘varnished Terylene’ for a number of Vintage Vane steered boats originating from the 1950s and 60s. Each boat had an individual designed suit of sails which proved quite challenging but it was very nice to go back to the skills I learnt as a full sized sail maker – certainly served my time starting at age 16! Haven’t forgotten it! Also our thanks go to Wayne Stobbs from our sister shop Cat Components for designing and 3D printing vintage style number stencils.
