UK Halsey Sailmakers has opened a new sail loft service facility in Rushcutters Bay in Sydney. Located at 6 Neild Avenue, only five minutes from the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia, the hub or Sydney’s all year round racing and cruising scene.

John Penfold (Director) comments, ' When a premises that had been a sail loft for over 30 years became available leaving a gap in the Sydney marketplace we knew that the sailors in that area needed a sales and service centre close to the harbour.'

UK Halsey has over 50 lofts and service centres in 21 countries around the world bringing together in one organisation all the skills, experience, engineering, and advanced products for all sizes of yachts from keel boats to Americas Cupper’s and maxi superyachts.
