NO MORE HOLES BUT WE'LL BE RIPPN' 💨⛵️
We’ve sailed thousands of miles with a ripped, torn, tethered mainsail, but the time has finally come to retire her. Tune in for our biggest upgrade yet!! We are so excited to be getting Nakama one step closer to tackling Australia’s wild west coast before pressing on into the infamous southern ocean.
A huge thanks to Ullman Sails Whitsundays for making our dreams come true. We are absolutely in love with the new mainsail. May she safely sail us to an array of wild and beautiful places!
If you’re in the market for your canvas or sails to be replaced or repaired we would highly recommend giving these guys a call https://whitsunday.ullmansails.com/
