Solo Sails provides Newlyn's first live web cam - see the web cam page above!

A big thank you to Andrew 'Woody' Wood for coming up trumps and providing 'Through the Gaps' with a live web cam view of the harbour. Now, visitors can check on the web cam for an up-to-the-minute view over the marina side of the harbour and Mount's Bay beyond - plenty of sun might mean there's a big queue at Jelberts! The web cam is in their workshop above Cosalt - local fishermen will remember this as the room where 'Lofty' and the boys learned their trade servicing and repairing inflatable liferafts.

Solo Sails are a small sail loft based in Cornwall specialising in bespoke performance racing sails, durable cruising sails and custom canvaswork. Their sails are individually designed and built by us in the UK using the very best sailmaking technology and materials available.

Their fresh approach and experience with racing sails for shorthanded offshore events such as the Mini Transat, OSTAR, RB&I, AZAB, Fastnet etc. results in race sails that are light, fast and durable. Yet because they are a small loft, they can keep our prices exceptionally low at the same time as giving customers' sails their full attention.

The design, thinking and build methods are a fusion of traditional techniques with modern technology and materials, which means that they can also build durable cruising sails that will survive the toughest conditions yet still perform to a boats' full potential.

The boss, Andy Wood is always happy to have a 'no hassles' chat about a new project or repair needs, so feel free to call, email or if you are in the area pop in to see the man for a chat.
