About us
We are a brand which has been born into mother nature. It's time to create a new feeling.
We had a vision
Our journey began in 2016
Hi, my name is Andy Camarda. I have been working for major sailmaking brands in the industry for over 8 years. I have been a part of a team that has won every major event in Chicago including the Chicago to Mackinac, the Verve, and the NOOD.
During this time working for the “big lofts” I knew that I could do things better and create an improved customer experience. I bring a breath of fresh air to the sailing community with a commitment to growing the sport and educating my customers on how to get the most out of their boat and sails.
The customer comes first
Designed to be transparent
Buying a new sail should be easy and fun.
You should not have to play phone tag. You should not have to email back and forth for days and wait for a price. You should get a clear and transparent price quickly, and be able to explore all of the options available to you. You should be sold a quality sail with the industry’s best materials and warranty.
Turning the industry upside down
We’re just getting started
We have pulled away the curtain and flipped the script. No longer do you have to go through the “gatekeepers” to get a quote on a new sail. At 180sails.com you can get an instant quote and buy a sail shipped from our sail loft in Chicago, IL, USA to you anywhere in the world.
As an Evolution Sails loft, we use the best name brand fabrics, have some of the best sail designers in the world, and build and sell only top quality sails on par with the biggest names in the industry. We have built sails to win races and sail around the world for everything from family cruising boats to grand-prix race boats and superyachts.
Our incredible team are here for you
