Upholstery plays an essential role aboard a boat. It contributes to crew comfort, the boat’s aesthetics and the protection of equipment against marine conditions. At Axe Sail, our upholstery workshops design, manufacture and maintain textile equipment adapted to the demands of sailing.
Thanks to our expertise and the use of high-quality technical fabrics, resistant to UV, moisture and marine conditions, we create durable solutions perfectly suited to your boat.
Interior and exterior upholstery
Axe Sail creates upholstery elements designed to improve the comfort and layout of your boat. Cockpit benches, seats, backrests or interior fittings can be designed or renovated using foams and coverings adapted to the marine environment.
The materials used are selected for their resistance to UV, moisture and intensive use, while guaranteeing optimal comfort and refined aesthetics.
Cushioning
Cushioning is a key element of onboard comfort, whether in the cockpit, saloon or cabins. Axe Sail designs and manufactures custom cushions adapted to your boat’s configuration.
We offer different foam densities and a wide range of technical fabrics to achieve an ideal balance between comfort, resistance and durability.
Protective covers
Protective covers help preserve your equipment against external elements: sun, rain, salt or dust.
We create custom covers for various boat elements:
wheel covers
winches
consoles and instruments
tenders and various equipment
These protections extend the lifespan of your equipment while maintaining their proper functioning.
Sprayhood and Bimini
The sprayhood and bimini provide effective protection against wind, rain and sun. They significantly improve sailing comfort and life aboard, particularly during long passages or at anchor.
Axe Sail creates custom sprayhoods and biminis, perfectly adapted to the deck plan and cockpit ergonomics. The structures and fabrics used guarantee excellent durability and great resistance to marine conditions.
Lazy Bag
The lazy bag facilitates mainsail management during maneuvers and protects the sail when lowered.
Our lazy bags are custom-designed to fit precisely to the mast, boom and sail plan of the boat. They help simplify maneuvers, protect the sail from UV and improve safety during reefing or lowering.
Repair, maintenance and winter storage
Beyond manufacturing, Axe Sail also offers a repair and maintenance service for upholstery equipment. Marine fabrics are subject to significant stress and may require regular interventions to extend their lifespan.
Our teams intervene for:
seam or fastener repairs
replacement of damaged panels
maintenance and cleaning of textile equipment
storage and preparation for winter storage
These interventions help maintain your equipment in good condition and ensure their longevity season after season.
