If you have been following along for the past 5 years or so you will know that our pattern has been to spend 4 months or so sailing in Florida and the Bahamas. The rest of the year we have been in Quebec working in our company Larsen Sails and Marine Ltd. All that is about to change. We have decided to put our company, the building it occupies, and probably our house up for sale. It is time to go sailing full time and see some of the world.
After being in business for more than 40 years, this is a big decision for us. It is a business we enjoy and we will miss many of our customers.
Although it would be ideal to sell everything together so the company would keep running into the next generation we are realistic enough to realise this might not happen. We are putting together a plan that would allow us to sell the business assets, excluding the building, so it can be packed in a container and shipped anywhere in the world. Sailing has many emerging and underserved markets. Someone with energy, a plan – or a dream – could set up shop and be ready to go in a matter of days. We have been building a wide range of sails for dinghies to ocean cruising boats to competitive racing fleets. We do many types of repairs and canvas work. Our equipment includes a Prosail plotter and a variety of sewing machines. If you, or someone you know might be interested, check out our website at www.larsensails.net.
