about

Brian Carroll, a qualified sailmaker for over 40 years has a service loft in Paynesville. He as a child, then an adult has been visiting the Riviera for many years, so decided to make the sea-change! Being an avid sailor, he has been playing with boats all his life and at a very young age decided sailmaking was to be his profession. Under the steady of eye of Frank Hammond and John Bertrand (respectively) he served his four-year apprenticeship, then continued to work for both gents at differing times for many years before flying the coop for Unique Sails to be born. The ‘club’ logo, is a legacy to one of his father’s best Sailfish boats named ‘Ace of Clubs’, and the green well don’t ask!

Unique Sails can do anything nautical such as; new sails, repairs, alterations, boat covers, boat clears, sail covers plus more. Nothing is impossible; if Brian cannot do it then it cannot be done – he also has a commercial boat licence if you need a helping hand on the water.

Brian continues to enhance our jobs with his ability to find a solution to often challenging tasks; being a sailmaker is a bonus. Unique in every way.

services

sail...

Brian has been sailing since the age of seven and raced everything from dinghies to keelboats to one design. Sailing in a number of classes has given the edge of knowing and understanding the class requirements of good design for fast sails.

Unique Sails service expands from new sails, repairs and alterations for dinghies, keelboats and trailer sailers; racing and cruising sails, spinnakers, jibs, and genoas. All style of covers ranging from but not limited to boat covers, boom covers and boom tents

power...

Working in the heart of the Gippsland Lakes; there is every possible water craft on the lakes… and power is no exception.

Unique Sails is proud of the work captured for powerboats, cruisers and classic boats including clears, mesh screens, boat covers, canvas work, dodgers, biminis and anchor winch covers plus much more.

miscellaneous...

With a service loft in Paynesville fully equipped with an array of reliable equipment, Unique Sails is capable of most tasks that require the use of a sewing machine and the like.

Let your imagination wander, from wheel, winch, anchor-winch and hatch covers to centre-board and rudder covers for dinghies, stand-up-paddleboard (sup) covers and even trophy carry bags or maybe a fuselage cover…too many options to mention.

I had the opportunity to use Unique Sails for new enclosures on our power catamaran: dealing with Brian was an absolute pleasure and the finished product was second-to-none. We will use Unique Sails again for new clears on new sailing catamaran…
