About Us

Founded by Sam Woolner in 2013, Exe Sails & Covers has grown into a respected sail loft serving boat owners across Devon, the Southwest and beyond. What began as a small operation driven by passion and precision, has become a trusted name in sail making, cover manufacturing and bespoke marine products.

Our sail loft is proudly located on the River Exe in Topsham, Devon – a vibrant maritime community with a rich sailing heritage. Being right on the water keeps us closely connected to the needs of sailors, boat owners and marine professionals. This location isn’t just practical; it’s part of who we are.

From our loft, a skilled team of sail and cover makers design, manufacture and repair sails, covers and custom marine and outdoor products. We combine traditional sail making expertise with modern materials, advanced techniques and a commitment to durability. Every project that leaves our loft reflects our dedication to quality, accuracy and a genuine passion for the water.

Whether you need a new sail, a protective cover, or a bespoke solution for your boat or outdoor space, we take pride in creating products that perform beautifully and stand the test of time.

“We’ve got you covered!”
