EP 43: Sperry Masks

Around the Buoy

Sperry Sails is a family run business that has been providing boaters with the highest quality, hand crafted sails and other canvas products for over 40 years. Throughout their history, adapting has been one of their keys to success. Starting with Dacron sails, a staple for the traditional wooden boat fleet, the sail makers in the loft now use computers to design and cut carbon fiber sails for the modern, off-shore racing fleet. As the world copes with COVID-19, Sperry Sails again adapts and has started making masks for those on the front lines. In this episode we talk with Sperry Sails President, Ben Sperry, about the decision to transition his loft in the busiest season to help out those in need. Listen in!
