WHY BUY KEMP?
British since 1985
Kemp Sails are essentially a family firm and we are proud of the fact that we have been a British Manufacturing business since 1985. In 2012, Kemp Sails was chosen as an Industry Champion in Vince Cable's, Department for Business, "Make it in Great Britain" campaign.
As a UK manufacturing company, we are also proud to be providing employment to 20+ staff and to adding to the UK economy's strength.
Very Strong Ethos of Quality
Kemp Sails have a very strong ethos of quality and fairness for our customers, we have gone to some quite extreme lengths on occasions to ensure that our customers get the quality of service and product that they expected and deserved.
Many of our staff have been Sailmaking or in the Marine Industry for many years and we are always happy to talk and answer questions, whether it be about a Drascombe or a Discovery Yacht, a Sigma or a Swan.
Consistent and dependable
As a cottage industry there will always be somebody offering a 'low cost alternative' which can sound attractive.... but normally these offers mean they don't have the level of infrastructure or machinery that is required to do the job correctly, and sadly transpires to be a more costly or dissatisfying experience in the long run - so our Kemp Sails' prices are usually keen, and our service consistent and dependable.....chances are, we may well exceed your expectations!

My ordered sail arrived last Friday and was fitted on Saturday. The sail was a perfect fit and I was immensely pleased. Having just completed a four-day voyage in a variety condition the sail was excellent.
I will recommend your teams help and service to everyone.
Thanks very much.

I received my new genoa from you this Friday - well ahead of the expected delivery date.
I used the sail this weekend and am delighted with the results. It fitted perfectly, set very well and probably added 1/2 knot to boat speed and allowed us to point 5 or so degrees higher.
