The Power of Partnership: From Concept to Community
April has been a month of connection for the Ullman Sails family. From the
high-performance synergy of our twenty-year partnership with Balance Catamarans to the inspiring youth programs at Buccoo Sailing Camp in Tobago, we are seeing the impact of quality sailmaking far beyond the loft floor.
Whether we were meeting you on the docks at La Grande Motte or watching the America’s Schooner Cup in San Diego, this month proves that while we build sails, it’s the partnerships that drive us forward.
To kick off this edition, we’re taking you behind the scenes of our 20-year collaboration with Balance Catamarans to explore how shared intuition and real-world testing created the new standard in performance cruising.

Inspiring Confidence in Tobago
Sailing is a powerful tool for building character. The Buccoo Sailing Camp in Tobago is doing incredible work using the water to inspire confidence and discipline in local youth. We are proud to share their journey as they develop the next generation of Caribbean sailors.
April on the Docks
From the multihull mecca of La Grande Motte to the bustling docks of Annapolis and Newport Beach, April was a marathon of boat shows. It was incredible to connect with owners, discuss 2026 refits, and showcase our latest technical inventories to a global audience.
