Barracouta Sails is run by owner and director Neil Tasker, a sailmaker for more than 30 years and one of Australia's most respected sail designers and craftsmen.
We use computer-aided design to produce high-performance racing sails and long-lasting cruising sails at competitive prices. We build for everything from windsurfers to super maxis, and we also repair and service the sails you already own.
We're based in Caringbah, in Sydney's south, and look after boats from all over Australia and overseas. Because we're independent, you deal directly with the person who designs your sail.
Quality, performance and value. That's why so many sailors rely on Barracouta.
