PROJECT SAIL TO SHELTER | A few weeks ago, Doyle Sails reached out to the sailing community with an urgent call for used sails, and you responded with more than 50 sails being donated from all over the world.

These generously donated sails have either already been repurposed into essential shade and shelter and are either on the ground at the US/Mexico border, in transit to Poland, or on their way to the Sail to Shelter head office in Sacramento, USA. Not only are the sails being kept out of landfill, but they also fill an urgent requirement for humanitarian aid organizations.

DO YOU HAVE USED SAILS? If you or someone you know have used sails that are no longer required, we want to hear from you; this is the opportunity to give your sails a second life.
