Well made, easy to operate and a gamechanger
We have ordered a number of Code 0 sails now from Greg and Sam at RTS Australia for both company use and client vessels. The service has been excellent, professional and always a prompt reply. The loft is helpful with meeting production requirements and sails are always delivered on time. For a good quality good value sail you don’t need to look past RTS. After sales support and advise is always forthcoming when needed and Greg and Sam come with a huge amount of hands-on experience which goes a very long way. The Code 0 itself is well made, easy to operate and a gamechanger on all the vessels well have fitted them on.

Easy single handed operation in all conditions
Regarding the mainsail we are very happy with the furling main type and would never switch. The main advantage is single handed operation in all conditions, safe handling from the cockpit and very easy reefing compared to traditional batten sail. The form of our main is holding up well considering the 14.000 nautical miles we sailed with it so far. https://www.youtube.com/@WhenSailing

With this new main I can reef in about five minutes
Having this new sail is totally changing the way that I sail. Reefing the old main was so annoying because the main was all dicey and blown out. So, I would fiddle around with headsails more but I only have three headsails so often I would be either underpowered or overpowered. Now I choose the headsail that most matches the conditions and then use reefing and un-reefing the main as a way to keep my boat balanced. And with this new main I can reef in about five minutes which is just a third of the time of changing a headsail... on this ocean passage I am doing a couple of reef changes of the mainsail every day and every time I do it I am just so grateful. https://www.youtube.com/@WindHippieSailing

Excellent value for money
As a repeat customer, I wanted to let you know how pleased we are with the storm sail and trysail we recently purchased from SailSolutions. The sails are high quality and were delivered within the specified time. Relative to quotes I have received from other sail makers I would have to say SailSolutions represents excellent value for money without compromising performance. Thanks also for the friendly and helpful service.

It adds a stunning turn of pace to the boat
Very pleased to report that the Cruising Code Zero you supplied for our Hanse 458 is superb – very pleased with the sail and prompt delivery, so thank you for your efforts. It adds a stunning turn of pace to the boat, so we’ll be highly recommending this to our future owners.

Faster than a cat
Forgot to let you know how the code 55 went. It’s fantastic had it out the other weekend in about 7 to 9 knots sailing at about 60 degrees and not even trying were doing around 6.5 knots. We were sailing with a 11.6 sea wind cat and our Bavaria 33 cruiser with the code 55 left him for dead. He wasn’t happy but we were. Great investment.

My boat performs amazingly
I ordered a new mainsail, genoa and Code '0' with pole for my Lagoon 380 in Fremantle to replace the twenty year old sails. The ordering process was very simple. Rolly Tasker Sails Australia sent a measurement form to complete. I engaged a professional to ensure these were taken correctly. The new sails turned up as scheduled some weeks later and all fitted perfectly! I have subsequently also ordered and received a new spinnaker. I have now sailed almost 1,000nm with the new rig and my boat performs amazingly! Thank you guys :)

Hoisting and dropping her is a dream
We recently completed a 14 day passage from Thailand to the Maldives. Our Rolly Tasker ready-made asymmetrical spinnaker was up and propelling us to our destination for 11 of them. Day and night. Rolly - that's the name we've given her - made our journey much quicker and the sock made hoisting and dropping her is a dream to use. We couldn't be more chuffed with this addition to our sails wardrobe. Thank you Rolly Tasker Sails and the lovely ladies who are the backbone of that gobsmacking vibrant sail loft in Phuket.

Boat was flying along with her new sails
Great price – super value – quality sails – A very happy customer :-) Test sailed today in circa 20kts to 28kts of wind in Southampton water. On a reach we achieved 9.3 to 9.5 kts max SOG with tide and 7 to 7.3 kts SOG against – Boat was flying along with her new sails. It was WINDY :-) Seriously pleased – Thanks Annabel – Great service and all so simple.

We have won 5 degrees upwind
We have ordered a Performance Tape Carbon (PTS) jib made in the Rolly Tasker Factory in Phuket and it proved to be an excellent choice. Sails came really good and we have won 5 degrees upwind, the sail is really stiff and light and easy to trim. I reckon it is a very good sail for racing with a very reasonable price tag. The factory has been very responsive to my request, we have decided to build a 68 sqm2 mainsail using the same technology which will be used in the Royal Langkawi Regatta in January and we will feed you with pictures.

The sail looks beautiful and performed great both reefed and hauled all the way out. The cut is perfect for Solstice and the workmanship on the sail looks superb. I just wanted to send you both a note to say thank you very much. I appreciate everything you both have done to help Solstice get such a nice and well needed sail.

We outsailed them all with ease
Just a quick note to say thanks for the great sails you’ve delivered for my ’98 Com-pac 19XL The full batten loose foot main, 110% RF jib and 140% RF genoa all fit perfectly and really made the boat come alive. The cuts on the headsails are just right..not too low and not too high with good furling performance. Last month I had the opportunity to sail with several other similar Com-pacs with experience sailors at the helm–we outsailed them all with ease–were able to point better, had less pitch and roll in waves, better speed and better control. They are holding up great too, after almost one season of sailing once a week, they still are practically new. Better than I can say for others I’ve used in the past. Also they arrived exactly when you said they would. Excellent product, excellent service..I’ll be using you again!!

Replacing my main, jib and screecher
Derick from DG Marine has helped me replace the Main, Jib and Screecher, his advice has been invaluable. This is my second set of sails from RTS, they also made the sails for my previous Trimaran, they are very well made, great price and the shipping and delivery has always been prompt and stress free.

5 star service and a fantastic product
Really great service from the team at Rolly Tasker Sails. I ordered the sail at the Southampton boat show, Annabel even measured up my old sail to ensure an accurate copy. I was kept up to date with the order throughout the process, and they even arranged delivery via RIB for my sail! 5 star service and a fantastic product. The sail is great quality and arrived in a custom sail bag. The price was great too, amazing value for a quality sail.

New jib sails one knot faster
Dear Annabel I can’t tell you how pleased I am with the new jib sail you made for me. Over the last two months I have been on a journey to the north, to the southwest coast of Sweden, north of Gothenburg – what a stunning sailing area it is. I can’t tell you how delighted I am with my new sail that has performed brilliantly in mixed conditions and has certainly improved the speed of the boat by one knot. At the same time it looks very good. The whole trip was over 2,000 miles which I think is just about the longest I have done. I just wanted to thank you and tell you how delighted I am with your new sail. I think I might possibly see you at southampton boat show next week.

I really love this new main!
Dirk, Just want you to know I received my new 140 today and it looks great! Also, the issue I was having with my new main is now a “non-issue”, a little lubrication solved the problem. The sail fits great, and the boat sails closer to weather than it ever did. I really love this new main! Thanks again for all your input and help. Rgds Pete

I’ve had a few pleasant transactions now with Rolly Tasker Sails and have found them most helpful. A special thanks to Annabel Shove who talked me through the whole process and advised me on the best sail to order to suit my requirements. In the short of it would I recommend this company, “YES” great communication, a friendly service and I got my sail from the day of order in 3 weeks Top Stars.

The performance improvement is amazing
Hi Dirk, Just a quick email to let you know that we fitted the sail and went for a buzz round to check it out. The performance improvement is amazing. We are just a cruising boat but it makes a huge difference to speed (between 0.5 to 1kt at least), pointing and tacking angle (10 degrees better). Sail is really well made and a good price too. I will recommend you without fail to my fellow sailors in the marina and round Bonaire. Service, contact info and everything was very professional. Great job. Please pass on my regards to the guys in Thailand too. Cheers

Fantastic shaped and FAST! sails
Dear Sven, Your wonderful sails arrived on Friday and we were able to sail train with them on Saturday and raced offshore with them Sunday. They all fitted exactly and have fantastic shape and are FAST! We were first on IRC on Sunday, and second on handicap. We had lots of great comments from fellow competitors who all wanted to know how we obtained the sails. Of course we told Them! Once again. Thanks so much.

Great advice with the Genoa
Hello Annabel, just to let you know that the new sails fit great, I think you gave some great advice with the Genoa. We got to Alderney Saturday morning, content 12kns of wind, avg speed 4.8knts. Very happy with that. I'll be in touch when I make the mods to the boom and we can get to replacing the main. Thanks Annabel! Great job.

Flawless gennaker handling
The first opportunity to try the new gennaker didn’t happen until this weekend. For our two-handed crew in wind from 5-15 it could not have been any better. The set was perfect, and the turtle bag and sock made the whole thing flawless. I’m glad that we got the 1.5oz gennaker instead of the lighter full asymmetrical for our shorthanded crew and a chance to use it over a wider range.

I’m over the moon
I wanted to share with you my appreciation of your service at Rolly Tasker Sails which is certainly a great team achievement. Recently I purchased a new self tacking headsail for my Hanse 445 which had to be fabricated from scratch as the old headsail no longer existed. Initial doubt and potentially a risk of lost of performance due to a smaller headsail I was amazingly surprised. The new sail fitted immediately perfectly without any problems. On our 1st sail trip in light winds around 10knts at Pangna bay the headsail performed fantastic and it was a breeze to fill the sail with the available wind. Great product, good workmanship and high quality I’m over the moon. Another experience I like to commend was the recent manufactured steering cables for my Hanse 445. I had quite some trouble to source replacement but again you and your team pulled it off. With some measurements given and a discussion of how to tackle the fittings all steering wires were completed to high standards in just half a day. It’s a pleasure coming to Rolly Tasker Sails and receiving such a great service to such a high standard, if you don’t mind please share my experience with your staff/team and I shall see you again in the future.

My new sails perform, look and feel great
Buying one’s first suite of replacement sails after wearing out the original sails of my Dufour 485 was always going to be a tough decision. In the end, relying on the recommendation of a close sailing friend and some competitive quotes, I went with Rolly Tasker or in fact YachtEquip Ltd. the UK agent, where I dealt directly with Annabel. Using her measurement templates I did all the measurements myself – 3 times! Annabel helped me choose the cloth, decide on cut and advised on sizing. When we “pushed the GO button” the loft built and delivered the sails to Spain in a month. The moment of truth came bending them on and all was well. More to the point, my new sails perform, look and feel great. Wish I could afford a new cruising code zero! – I’d know where to buy it!

Everything fits perfectly
Yesterday we went for a shake down sail with the new sails and they look great, we had perfect conditions for testing the staysail with a couple of 20 knot gusts. The only sail we did not try out was the new spinnaker as we decided to wait for lighter winds to try that for the first time. Everything fits perfectly, the sail shapes look fantastic. The sails are excellent, the mainsail particularly is a work of art and has a beautiful shape, so much better than the old one! Please can you pass on our heartfelt thanks to your team at the loft, they have made us some wonderful sails. Thank you very much. See us at YouTube

Badass LiteSkin Sails
I just wanted to let you know how happy I have been with the LiteSkin sails that I purchased from you a few months ago for my Precision 21. The sewing quality was top-notch, I am really enjoying all of the small touches like the loose footed main, the windows for the telltales, the draft stripes. I primarily do club racing and they have definitely moved me up in the standings this year. And the black sails look really badass on the course.
