Can you work with a high degree of precision? Can you work with complex patterns and templates to produce a repeatable sail shape?

Yachts are highly dependant on the quality of their sails and very small differences can mean the difference between a fast sail and a slow one.

Working with the construction team at a Sailmaking facility, you will be responsible for correctly stitching accurate sails from many panels. The quality of your stitching and knowledge of materials and yarns will be essential. You would need to work to very fine tolerances, so that the sails that you machine would offer minimum wind resistance or drag at the seams.

The skills you develop machining could lead you anywhere in the world, and might prepare you for challenging roles in sail performance testing or design.
