It’s one thing to make exceptional sails, but at Quantum Sails Chicago we go even further by making your challenges our own. With superior and personalized customer service, our sail consultants are with you every step of the way as loyal advisors, friends, and fellow sailors. In our Service Department, we provide a full range of professional sail care and repair services for sails and canvas – from simple repairs to precise sail re-cuts. The first step for any project is an understanding of your needs and an evaluation in order to provide you with an accurate, up-front estimate of time and cost. Because of our unique geographical location, we service several states, covering the southern end of Lake Michigan up to Muskegon, as far south as Tennessee, north to Wisconsin and Minnesota, and west to Missouri and Iowa. At distant locations, Quantum offers pick-up and drop-off services in cooperation with local marine providers or can help arrange shipping from your location. Contact a member of our service team at (312) 225-0801 to discuss your needs.
At Quantum, we’re connected to sailors everywhere by our love of sailing and the belief that facing a challenge head on is infinitely rewarding.

He has extensive knowledge of marine hardware and its application, and was instrumental in the development of Crowley’s Yacht Yard’s retail business for nine years.
