---Custom Sail Color Disclaimer---

To purchase a colored sail on our site, you will be required to acknowledge that you have read and understand the following color disclaimer. While we make every effort to clearly represent our product options online, colors are extremely difficult to properly represent. Variations in display devices (monitor, cell phone, etc.) alone create a large variation in color perception. Additionally, there exists some variation from fabric roll to roll depending on what batch they came from during manufacturing. If you are attempting to match a sail color to a specific color you like or a color on your boat, please contact us for specific physical samples of your desired color. The samples you will receive reflect our current stock of colors.

In the past sail colors held a much larger market and were more readily available. As demand declined, so did the availability. At this time, there is limited availability of a limited number of colors. For some complex colored sail patterns, we may be required to use of a variety of different fabric weights and manufacturers to produce the desired color palette for the sail. Please contact us and we can work with you to select colors that will work for your application.
