Nothing Performs Like evolution Sails
Welcome to the Evolution Sails USA Chicago sail loft.
Your Local Sailmakers
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.
In 2016 Evolution Sails Chicago was opened to serve sailors on Lake Michigan. We have now grown to service and support sailors worldwide via www.180sails.com
High quality sails from a brand you can trust
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.
We look forward to hearing from you, please feel free to give us a call, chat with us online, drop us a note in our contact form below, or stop by the loft to say hello and talk sailing in person. Most of all we hope to see you out on the water, enjoying sailing!

Supporting Cruising Sailors
We know that when you are off cruising, you venture far away from the support of sailmakers and sail lofts. We understand families safety relies on the performance of your sails.
We also understand that your leisure time is important. You want to get to your cruising destination, be it the North Channel or the Bahamas, and relax without worry. Our bluewater performance cruising sails are designed to do just that.
We support sailors on Lake Michigan, the Great Lakes, around the country, and worldwide as they circumnavigate. Contact us to find out why cruising sailors choose Evolution Sails Chicago as their go-to sailmaker.
