The designers of the All Purpose group are, above all, experienced sailors and racers. They all use the Sailpack sail design software, a leader in this field. The exchange of experience between design offices is constant and essential to offer the best possible sail.
Listening and proximity
All Purpose is a small-scale, artisanal business based in the local economy, working with traditional methods for maximum customization and quality, as well as using the most efficient software.
Everything is done to produce a sail that meets the specifications agreed upon with the client. The choice of fabrics, the definition of shapes, the triangulations optimized according to the gauge or rigging, the manufacturing, the finishing, the testing and adjustments are the essential steps in the operation of your sails.
Listening to the customer: “design by impregnation”
It all starts with listening to the customer and taking their needs into account: dialogue and sharing experiences with the user are the first step in designing a sail. We are very attached to this method of operation known as "design by impregnation."
