Catsails are specialist manufacturers of sails and accessories for performance radio controlled model yachts.

Proprietor Nigel Brown has been sailmaking since 1980 and has worked in some of the top sail lofts across the World including building sails for 4 America’s Cup programmes.

Years of sailmaking experience at the highest level combined with the best materials, high standards of workmanship and attention to detail have resulted in truly top quality products that are well proven on racecourses around the world. All mainsails and jibs are shaped using carefully milled moulds which ensures accurate repetition and consistency of shapes from one sail to the next.

Nigel has been building sails for the International One Metre since 2005 with sail shapes and construction techniques being continually refined ever since. IOM sails are well proven on the race circuits having won races and regattas in Spain, Italy and Malta as well as in the UK.

In 2012 the range was extended to include sails for the popular Micro Magic class that instantly received great acclaim.

When the DragonForce 65 was launched in 2013 and the DragonFlite 95 in 2016 Catsails soon became one of the leading suppliers of after market sails for these popular boats and they are now shipped all around the world and have powered boats to national titles in a number of different countries.

Catsails additionally make high performance sails for the RG65 class to fit both swing and conventional rigs.

Catsails also make custom accessories that are designed to protect boats, rigs and foils whilst the boats are out of the water.

  • Stunning sails, so well shaped and crafted and have rigged very well on my IOM. Yesterday the best results I have ever had since June when I bought the IOM.

Thank you very much. Bob, Berkshire.

  • Just received my glorious suit! Magnificent! The tablings..... marvellous!!!... the stitching lines, the overall shape, every detail, all very beautiful indeed! I can't tell you how delighted I am. You must understand, the wind has always held a magical place in my heart and the thin membrane with which we apply our feeble human attempts to have it do our way over an equally mysterious sea..... alchemy indeed. I hold this suit in my hands and it all comes alive again. It occurred to me as I relished your suit the day later that one of the things I really appreciated, was that in your masterly execution, despite many years of hard learned science, though perhaps exactly because of them, you approached the design not with a mindless machine but more the inquiring instrument. You took onboard where I'd too easily lined the impossible and wasn't having any of it, discovering a way to play your sound, practical requirements for the well-made, proper sail whilst accommodating the draw perfectly. The narrow tablings, the nicely snug but slidable foot sleeves, even seeing to better sized eyelets where they would best serve tacks and clews. You sir, are a Wizard of Dacron. Thank you for your brilliant work, I raise a glass to you Sir, Roger, U.S.A.
  • Absolutely magnificent (cotton) sails, the guys at the Club were amazed at the quality! Bernard, Suffolk.
  • Hello Frank, the sails were waiting for me when I returned from a week away. They are in perfect condition and look superb, just like sails previously made by you. Thanks for putting them through with the others, what super service! Jeff, Staffs.
  • Enjoying the new Seawind sails. Far more competitive than the stock sails. You are a star. Allan, South Africa.
  • I've never won anything before with my IOM yacht but with your sails newly fitted I won the series of races. An excellent job, marvellous, thank you. Paul, Essex.
  • Many thanks, sails arrived OK, great job. Ted, Cambridgeshire.
  • Sails arrived this morning, superb as usual, thanks again. Ian, Nottingham.
  • Sails came yesterday, great suit, can't wait to fit them probably over Easter. The KINGSWINFORD boat members highly recommend you for your sailmaking. Great, thanks again. Bob, W.Midlands.
  • I received my sails today....PERFECT...arrives safely. Perfect fit and I look forward to sailing with the new sails!!!!!! THANKS, from Kjell, Norway.
  • Just to let you know the sails arrived this morning safe and sound. I must thank you for such a magnificent job, they really do look the part, excellent. I just hope I can do justice to them with the rest of the boat. Many thanks again for a grand job. Chris, Somerset.
  • The sail suit arrived a few days ago, and am delighted with the result. Its a real treat, in this day and age, to find something beautifully hand crafted by a true artisan. Danny, I.O.Man.
  • Many thanks for the excellent sails. Jonathan, Yorkshire.
  • Received the sails, many thanks - as usual, quality better than expected! Maurice, Lincs.
  • Thank you for the Fairwind sails which arrived on Thursday, they are quite simply a work of art. Also thanks for your prompt and friendly service. Peter, Kent.
  • The sails are wonderful, they fit like a glove! Thank you. Mark, Surrey.
  • My sails arrived today. I am very pleased, they are exactly right, so neat, I just can't stop looking at them. Tom.
  • The sails arrived in good order and fitted this afternoon, looking good, super quality. Will be ordering again. Robert.
  • Sails arrived safely this morning, I will send some photos after we have sailed Sirius with the new suit. Thanks very much for a prompt and efficient service. Gareth.
  • Hi Frank, am pleased to say the sails arrived in perfect condition earlier today. Thank you so much for the superb service. Alan, Lancs.
  • If the (IOM) sails go as fast as they look, will be superb, thank you. Stephen, Huntingdon.
  • Hi Frank, The One Metre sails are looking great. Andy.
  • Starlet sails received and rigged - looking great. Richard.
  • Hi Frank thanks for another great job (sails). Alan.
  • I have now restored my 36 inch model yacht to the point where it is sailing again. Thanks to you and the VMYG for advice and Frank Parsons of Nylet for the sails and other bits and pieces. It would not have been possible without you!

The Best Value in Custom Sails.

Kris - Saga



by Dan Dickison

"Racing sailors in particular are keenly aware that once the breeze pipes up, you need to make certain adjustments to keep your sail shape optimized. With a mainsail, that begins with tweaking the halyard to achieve a luff tension that's in the ballpark for the given conditions. Then—if your boat has a standard Marconi rig—you'll begin making adjustments to the backstay, outhaul, and cunningham to fine-tune the sail's overall shape. Of course, the most frequent adjustments are made using the traveler and the mainsheet, and on board the most aggressively raced sailboats, the latter is rarely cleated."

"Of all these controls, perhaps the one most overlooked by non-racing sailors is the outhaul. Most boat owners follow the 'set it and forget it' approach with this control line. But a properly attended outhaul can afford you surprising control over the lower portion of most mainsails. I say most mainsails because there are different design approaches to the foot section of these sails. On the vast majority of mainsails, you either have a foot that's attached to the boom via slides or a bolt rope, or you have what is known as a loose-footed arrangement wherein just the tack and some portion of the clew are attached."


by Dan Dickison

"Most boat owners know to winterize their engines, send messenger lines up the rig to keep their halyards out of the elements, and generally batten things down for the off season. But fewer are aware of the important steps required for properly storing sails. Too often, mainsails are left on the boom, and roller-furling headsails left wrapped around the headstay for the duration of the winter. This kind of exposure to mother nature will ultimately lessen the lifespan of those sails."

"Most sailors know the damage that continuous exposure to ultra-violet radiation can do to sails. But keep in mind that the heat from the sun can also be damaging, and it's difficult to gauge. The ambient temperature might be 95 degrees in the boatyard, but it's not uncommon for the surface temperature on an object — say a mainsail under its cover on a boom—to be 115 degrees. The cumulative effect of days spent in that kind of heat will be structural damage."

Imagine a half hull model of YOUR boat - a traditional nautical work of art!

Available for both Powerboats and Sailboats

We offer two Half Hull Model Styles: Simple or Detailed

Our "simple”, half hull models have the basic hull shape and color, from the deck down - very traditional.  The hull is painted and includes a mahogany baseboard with optional brass name plate. 

Our unique “detailed” half hull models includes the basic hull shape but also includes all above deck details such as wood trim; doors, windows and ports; hand railings, stanchions and lifelines; for sailboats a section of the mast (below the boom), rope clutches, winches, and cleats, etc will be included. Essentially the detailed half hull is almost a full model, cut in half. The overall length for the finished product includes the hull itself, plus the baseboard and will have an additional clearance of 2 to 4 inches on all sides. For example, a 15-inch half hull model would have a 19-inch long baseboard. The most common size/scale is 1/24.

We select the best wood stain color for the baseboard, based on complimenting the colors of your vessel. If you have a specific wood stain you request, let us know with your order. An optional brass nameplate is available, that typically has the vessel type and name. 

Our half hull models are only made-to-order. Prices start at $975 for a 12-inch simple half hull model. The price and build time will depend on the vessel type, the half hull model type (simple or detailed), the support materials provided, and the complexity of the boat, paint and graphics, typically within a 14-16 week delivery time. After reviewing our photo examples below, please contact us to request a quote for your specific vessel and model type/size desired.
