Our Goals

Make Sailing More Accessible

Sailing is an expensive sport - but we want to change that. By offering used sails, boats, and equipment, we can make the sport easier to get involved with.

Keep Sails Out of the Landfill

We get to enjoy the outdoors while we sail, and we want to keep it that way. When you list on SailTrader, you're keeping your used equipment out of the landfill.

Grow the Sailing Community

We want to welcome new participants, which is why we offer resources and educational articles in addition to our used listing section.

How Does SailTrader Work?

We’re not a broker, warehouse, or consignment shop. We’re a meeting place for sailors and brokers with high quality used sails to meet buyers looking for exactly what you’re selling. With great pictures, exact measurements and one-design classifications, buyers and sellers can find each other to make a deal. The seller lists the sail or sailboat, the buyers search for what they need and reach out to the seller. We step out of the way and the buyers and sellers make a deal.

We all this at no cost to buyer or seller, and don’t get in the way or take any commissions or fees on marketplace deals unless you ask us for help. But you shouldn’t need that with our helpful guides on how to list and sell your sails.

Created By Sailors For Sailors

Our team is experienced in racing and cruising, and have all bought and sold sailboats. We know how boat owners and sailors think and what they need. And beyond the marketplace, we’re bringing our expertise to you with our reviews of sailing gear and how-to advice and tips on our blog.

We’re more than just a used sail shop. SailTrader can help you research your next key piece of equipment before you buy.
