Goacher Sails have been the leading Sonata sailmaker since our involvement in the class in 1991. Our first competitive event was the Nationals that year, and from then on we have supplied all the sails on the National Championship Winners to date. Not only that we have supplied many customers throughout the fleet who come back to us time after time, confident in the knowledge that they are buying the fastest and most reliable sails for their Sonata. Goacher Sails were used to win all races at the Nationals this year and took first and second positions overall.

Our efforts have gone into producing adaptable sails. The key to success in one design is the ability to change gear,
Our sails have led the way since 1992. We have enjoyed the benefit of working with and sailing against many of the best sailors in the class.
You can be assured that no sailmaker has ever invested the development work in the Sonata that we have. The number of sailors who choose our sails and the results which they achieve tell the story.
