Sail Shape Ltd was formed to take over Mitchell Sails to allow the change of ownership from the previous owner Andy Mitchell to the new director Alan Harris, a past apprentice of Mitchell sails. The two have been working together from 2005 producing some of the best sails and cover throughout country. The loft started making sails in 1983 in the attic of Andy Mitchell’s home only 300 meters down the road. Andy Mitchell currently works for Sail Shape as the head cover maker alongside Alan Harris the Director/ sailmaker. The company has recently taken on a new apprentice, Hans Wehmeyer who is set to become the head sail maker in the months/years to come.
The company makes high quality race sails, cruiser sails, covers, awnings, industrial banners, running and standing rigging, bags and also provides the port with a winter storage and valeting service for all types of sails.
Sail Shape has contracts with Hyde sails who provide a different option to customers who either have larger or one design yachts. Parc signs who manufacture banners use Sail Shape Ltd for finishing and shaping providing a professional look to their products. The Eden project and St. Austell Brewery also use Sail Shape for screens, banners and lots of intricate cover work.
