THE SAILS are full and flying at
Wake Sails International Inc. in
North Vancouver.

The company recently concluded
negotiations to represent
prestigious Hood top- of-the-line
sails in B.C., Washington and
Oregon.

In its llth year on the North
Shore, with past annual sales in the
$300,000 to $350,000 range, Wake
Sails has built a successful seafar-
ing niche by specializing in
sailmaking both under the Wake
Sails and Hood trademarks for
boats of all shapes and sizes.

Wake Sails sailmaker Nigel
Foster, says Hood sail design is
computer aided. The sails are cut

at Hood headquarters in
Marblehead, Mass. with a state of
the art laser cutter and the panels
are then sent to North Vancouver
for final assembly.

“In a market that is experienc-
ing small or no growth at present,
Wake Sails can now appeal to the
total market spectrum by offering
a complete range of products to
sailors,’’ said Dave Dobson, Wake
Sails president.
