We started as a sail loft. We still make cutters like one.
Aeronaut began in the mid 80s as Aeronaut Sails. We bought a pen plotter, found no software that could plot anything but a sail panel, and wrote our own. Ten years later a sailmaker asked us to build a better cutter, and our first batch included the first D4 stringer. Today almost all the big lofts and production facilities run Aeronaut blade or laser cutters.
Cruising & racing sails
Cut Dacron, Nylon, laminates and carbon accurately enough for one-designs and heavy-duty enough for superyacht sails.
Membrane & string sails
Aeronaut stringers, yarn heads and laminators have made membrane sails in production lofts worldwide since 1996.
Spinnakers & insignia
Laser cut spinnaker Nylon without watching over it, and cut insignia cloth for sail numbers and lettering with a sign blade.

Accurate enough for one-designs, tough enough for superyachts
Aeronaut takes sailmaking seriously and makes cutters to suit. Fast enough for production lofts, and priced so the smallest loft can afford one. For most work a single rotary blade will do the job, from Nylon and Dacron to carbon and Cuben fibre.
