Generations of Exceptional
Craftsmanship

 

Founded in 1870, Bohndell Sails started as a rigging shop in Thomaston, Maine. Not long after, the Bohndell family moved operations up the coast to Rockport, Maine and added sailmaking services. Our current location was built by Bob & Sue Chace in 1994 where we continue to serve the sailors of Penobscot Bay and beyond.

 

Testimonials

“These people show high professionalism and superb quality of work. I wouldn't take my sails & rigging anywhere else. They've built four new sails for me over the years. Always offering options and prices to meet my needs”

— J. Linn

“We've been customers for more than 15 years. The service, customer care and quality of sails are top notch. We've used Bohndell’s for repairs, as well as the making of new sails. I wouldn't trust our sail needs to anyone else. And besides, it's a cool shop!”

— C. Salas

“Bohndell's is THE PLACE to get your sails built, maintained, or repaired. Their end-of-season cleaning and repair program is awesome.”

— A. Lauer
