Our
Past
 Mariner
Sailmakers first hit the Dallas sailing
scene January 1st, 1975. And what started
out as a small custom sail loft has
evolved into one of North Texas' top
rated active watersports suppliers.
In 1988, Mariner Sailmakers branched
out with a Windsurfing and Sailing Accessory
Store, and within one year added Hobie
Cat products to the growing sail shop.
In 1990 Mariner Sails,
Inc. became a separate company
dedicated to serving local sailors
with high quality sailing equipment
and service, while Mariner Sailmakers continued to provide high quality custom sails,
repairs and canvas work, and is currently the
premier sail loft in North Texas.
In 1992 (way before the Internet as we know it today!), Mariner Sails started
our Fly-by-Night direct
delivery service for customers who didn't
have the support of a local sailing
or paddling shop. (Just call 800-536-9463
and we'll be happy to help you with
your sailing and paddling needs. If
you don't live in the Dallas area, we
strongly suggest supporting your local
dealer.)
In 1996 we started looking into kayaks,
added them to our offerings for 1998,
and have expanded our paddling department
ever since, offering one of the widest
ranges of recreational paddling accessories
in the area.
In 2007, the two members of our sailing family, Mariner Sails and Mariner Sailmakers have come together again. After many years of being happy room mates, Mariner Sails and Mariner Sailmakers are again one company. We will enjoy bringing the resources of our entire staff in our efforts to service your paddling and sailing needs.
Our
Present
 Mariner
Sails stocks and sells more windsurfing
and Hobie Cat equipment than
anyone else in North Texas. And
our staff members are experienced sailors
as well as recreational paddlers, so
you tap into well over 100 years of
combined "on-the-water" experience with
every purchase.
We actively support local sailing and
paddling events and clubs, and look forward
to introducing you to our sailing and
paddling community. We also offer lessons. We realize that new participants are
the key to the growth of any sport. So feel free to ask us anything at all;
there are no questions too basic -
REALLY!
 And
our Future...
Continuing
this year - Kayaks and Demo's during
White Rock Lake Clean-ups. Every
2nd Saturday meet us at the Love of
the Lake office in Casa Linda Plaza,
(Garland Rd. & Buckner Blvd.) between
8 and 8:30am and we'll put you in one
of our kayaks to help with a little
shoreline clean-up.
In keeping with our natural watersports
interests we're excited to add paddling
to our shop. As with everything we sell,
we offer quality paddling products at
affordable prices. And of course there
are always new things to see with our
Windsurfing and Hobie Cat products. Exciting wide style windsurfing equipment
and teaching techniques make this the
best time ever to consider Windsurfing. And then there are the new Hobies...
the Bravo, Wave, Getaway and the newest
Adventure Island offer performance sailing easily
and affordably. So stop in or give us
a call, we'd love to be a part of your
exciting FUTURE.
