Avalon Sail Co. Performance WINGFOIL and SAIL DESIGNER Phil 'Bugs' Smith has been making and designing all types of sails since the late'70's - Now open only by appointment.

Please message first. As performance sailmakers we design and manufacture sails for all types of dinghies and yachts. Also carry out quality repairs for all sails, and windsurf and kite repairs too. Shade sails are another large part of our business and we make custom shade sails as well as landyacht and windsurf sails.

My good friend and fellow winger Steve Schneider aka "Snides" dropped around to Avalon Sails R&D central to see what's been developing and took this video, it gives a little insight as to what we've been up to.
Cheers,

Another thing we have been working on over the last couple of years is how to be able to design wings in a way to be able to produce cutting files of those designs that set up perfectly first go when made by the factory. This is not the norm, you hear some companies boasting about how many prototypes where needed to get the wing right as if that's a good thing, it simply shows how far out things normally are and the amount of dressmaking that takes place, usually by the factories, to correct their problems.
We have been working with the Waveian design program to develop systems to overcome this problem, this system has tools in there that allow you to manipulate certain areas of the wing design after you finish the initial design in order for the wing to set as desired, and I'm very happy to say that we've cracked the code and have achieved our goal.
Only those close to us have been aware of the effort it's taken to achieve this, but we now have a clear understanding of the problems and the engineering required to get inflatable wings to set to design, and much improved design at that.
Our new wing line currently under production is with this much developed method and you'll see the results soon.
Cheers,
Bugs

For the last two years we have been using our LE (Leading Edge) boom in our wing designs, once you adapt to this you never want to go back, its the ultimate in wing handling control.
This is the latest LE boom design coming together, it is to be a two-piece boom system easily removed and divided for compact storage if needed.
Just remember, you saw it first here.
