Sails are of mainly three types - mainsail, headsail and spinnaker. All three are required for the proper sailing of a yacht or boat. Sails are usually made of Nylon, Dacron, carbon fibre, Zylon and Vectran. With the advancement in technology new types of sails have been developed by manufacturers. Two new types of sails are glued and moulded sails. Glued sails are regular panelled sails but instead of sewing the pieces together, the sail maker uses a special, ultra-strong polymer glue which bonds through the use of ultrasound. In moulding, a curved mould is designed and created in the optimum (three dimensional) shape of the sail that the sail maker wants to produce.

Sailing is defined as travelling in vessel with the use of sails. It may be a sport or a leisure activity that entails skill in handling the sails of a ship. Sailboat racing has become a popular sport. Deemed the sport of the wealthy, the competitions sustain strict racing rules. There are three main categories of sailboat competitions: these include closed-course competitions, coastwise competitions, and ocean competitions. You can find sails for leisure activities as well as for sailboat racing with the manufacturers listed in Yellow™.
