Many of our customers bring in their sails and canvas at this time each year for annual service work. Harding Sails is better equipped to handle service work than any other Massachusetts sailmaker. Our custom designed indoor sail laundry will clean sails and canvas without the abuse of other commercial laundry operations. The cleaning removes the dirt, salt, and grime, which contribute to aging of sails. As sails are rolled up on our giant roller they are washed and spot cleaned without any folding or flexing of the sail.
Special treatment is available for the removal of mildew and other stains.
Laminated sails can be mildew proofed to prevent future damage and older canvas work can be waterproofed. Our team of service personnel carefully checks over the sails and canvas for signs of weakness and failure. Zippers and snaps are lubricated and windows cleaned to remove water spots. Small repairs are enacted, while any large repairs or problems are discussed with the customer. Winter service is the best insurance against failure in the middle of the sailing season.
