From the owner: Allow us to introduce ourselves! Founded in 1996 by Christian Schlebach, Re-Sails was the first in…read morethe market to manufacture sail bags and accessories out of re-purposed sails. Many years in the yachting industry showed a significant amount of old sail being disposed of in the dumpster. Realizing the potential of Dacron in different applications Christian took some of those sails and started designing jackets and bags out of his garage. Two years of sewing at home and doing the boat shows, it was decided that a store in Newport, RI was the next step. Our Shop in Newport is the flagship store with many new products being test marketed. We are also located in Annapolis MD, just before the Naval Academy. With plans for a few more stores located in sailing communities, keep your eyes open for us, we might be neighbors! Custom designed in Newport RI and having 2 state side stores has given Re-Sails the opportunity to become a household name in the sailing industry. We are proudly made in the USA and dedicated to the recycling of sail material and green production. We are able to customize our products just for you so if you have an idea give us a call, we would love to hear from you!

We did love the dighy and motor they sold us. Also incredibly supportive in learning how to use the…read moremotor. However they sold us a boat trailer without a title. we used that trailer three times. Once to drive across the state, once to put the boat in the water. when we took the boat out of the water the axle snapped. Also the lights never worked. I did leave a message to see if there was any warranty as we bought the trailer barely 3 months ago. No response. No call back. Now we are getting the trailer repaired and wondering how to get it registered without a title.

We don't post often, but when we find a great place - well, we need to share. We needed an impeller…read morefor our generator and also wanted to check out the consignment section of this shop, so we called in advance to check whether they stocked the impeller. The person who answered was very helpful, asked my name and said they'd set the impeller aside. We walked the 1.2 miles from town (it's what cruisers do) and got to the shop. We had our dog with us and asked if it would be OK to bring him in (it was about 85 degrees out and he was wiped). Not only could we bring him in, but they even provided him a bowl of water. The impellers were on the side, just like they said they'd be. We wandered around the store and it was a really cool place - lots of things you don't always see, and the consignment part of the store had some really neat things. After we paid for our stuff, we decided we wanted to cab it back. We called the cab company and they said they wouldn't allow dogs in their cabs. The owner's son said there was a pretty big storm coming, and he actually drove us back to the dinghy docks in his own car! I'm all about buying local and supporting local businesses. When you have customer service and friendliness like this, it's pretty much worth any price (and for the record, their prices were very reasonable). I would definitely recommend a visit, if just to check out the consignment area.

READ THIS BEFORE BRINGING YOUR BOW I've had multiple people…read morebring me their bows after having work done by Mike and it's a butcher job every time. The way peeps are tied is nonfunctional and easily moved, Cable driven arrow rest cords are just tied right to the cable instead of being spliced in and served. I would imagine string changes are being done without a drawboard because none of these bows are in time and they aren't checking the work being done. The bow I saw yesterday had 10+ degrees of cam lean and a cable making contact with the cam after getting it back from F&F. Giving a customer their bow back when the cable is rubbing against the cam is straight up dangerous; If you can't identify an issue like that and communicate it to the customer you shouldn't be pressing bows.

Right now this is the only store in Connecticut, but one of the workers there told me that they're opening another one in Manchester, Connecticut. That's great! It's an awesome store.

You can become a member for free, and you get money back and coupons. There were already some Black Friday deals out. They had a sign that you can rent stuff too. Great store!
