Sailrite is a second generation family business and full-stock retailer of thousands of canvas supplies, tools, fabrics, kits, and videos including the Sailrite Ultrafeed LSZ-1 sewing machine and complete Sunbrella fabric lines. Sailrite also offers do-it-yourself kits, a sail loft, and instructions for sailors, boaters, and do-it-yourselfers around the globe. 

Founded in 1969, the business was intended to serve a function no other business had ever served: to provide a source of instruction and materials for amateur sailmakers. At that time, sailmaking was not considered an "amateur" task, but founder Jim Grant blazed a way for Sailrite by placing 2nd at the Cal 20 Nationals with homemade sails.

Today, Sailrite continues to grow, adapt, and expand its product lines in industrial sewing machines, marine and furniture fabrics, hardware and tools, and sailing apparel, but one thing remains the same: Sailrite is still a family-run business committed to providing quality products, instructional resources, and excellent service to sailors and do-it-yourselfers around the world.
