One of the largest sail lofts in the southern hemisphere Doyle Frasers of Somersby, north of Sydney, has been making a strong impact on the export market over the last few years.

Bob Fraser explains, 'The innovative sail construction technology which produced the world famous D4 sails has been developed and proven on the Australian racing scene and has found ready markets around the world.

In 1999 the Doyle Group embraced the D4 sails system and Doyle Fraser D4 sails are the now being sold by 45 lofts around the world.

The durability and speed that have proven to be the real mark of the D4 system, proven in the Southern ocean by winning racers like Nicorette, Brindabella and AFR Midnight Rambler is now spreading around the world.

The Somersby loft is now looking for sailmakers. Doyle Fraser offers a variety of work, from all forms of Race Boats to Mega Yachts, from Dacron to Carbon.

Due to their expanding world market, they offer great career opportunities and attractive salaries.
