Your Sailmaker
Dave Dobrijevic – Master Sailmaker
With over two decades of hands-on experience in the sailmaking industry, Dave Dobrijevic is a craftsman driven by precision, performance, and a deep respect for the sea. Known for his meticulous attention to detail and a sailor’s intuition, Dave has built a reputation for designing, making and repairing sails that perform under pressure—whether racing, cruising, or tackling long-haul blue-water passages.
Dave’s journey began as a passionate sailor before he stepped into the world of sailmaking, blending his practical knowledge on the water with technical expertise in the loft. Over the years, he has worked with a wide range of yachts—from dinghies to offshore racing boats—helping sailors get the most out of their sails through custom designs, expert repairs, and honest advice.
Today, Dave leads his own loft with the same hands-on approach that earned him respect in the industry. Whether you're chasing knots or sunsets, Dave ensures every sail he works on is built to last, built to perform, and built for the adventure ahead.
Specialties:
– Custom sail design
– High-performance sail tuning
– Sail repairs & recuts
– Canvas work and marine covers, garden shades
– Honest, experience-based consultation
“Every sail tells a story. I’m here to make sure it’s a good one.”
