Hyde Sails to expand dealer network


UK-based sail manufacturer is looking for dealers in the US and Canada

Hyde Sails, a UK-based sail manufacturer, has announced plans to expand its dealer network in the US and Canada.

Headquartered in Southampton, Hyde Sails has 50 years of heritage as a racing sailboat sailmakers. In the last 15 years the company has expanded into cruising sailboats.

Hyde Sails has been manufacturing its product line from a site in the Philippines for the last 15 years. The loft is run by ex-pat UK sail-makers and has 230 locally based staff employed on a loft floor of 6,000sq m. UK-based sales, technical and in house design staff, support the production facility.

“Hyde Sails is looking for dealers in New England, Carolina’s, Great Lak

es, Pacific North West, British Columbia, Quebec and Nova Scotia. New dealers do not have to be existing sail makers,” says the company in a statement.

Luke Yeates, who manages dealers in the US, comments: ‘I have found that some of our best dealers have been riggers and technical retailers.

“Companies who have a good list of retail clients, technical knowledge, and fast efficient customer service often do well in new sales. But of course the existing skills of sail-makers is welcomed,” he explains.

Hyde Sails offers dealer support with technical training. The use of online quoting, ordering programme, assistance with marketing budgets, sample kits and tools, head office, factory sales as well as after sales support will be available 20 hours per day.
