NORTH SAILS ADDS NEW LOFT IN VICTORIA, BC
Expanding Presence in the Pacific Northwest
North Sails proudly announces the opening of a new loft in Victoria, British Columbia. Spearheaded by local experts Stuart and Joy Dahlgren, and supported by their expert team of sailmakers, they seamlessly integrate into North Sails Canadian operations. Located on picturesque Vancouver Island, the new North loft sits on the shores of Tsehum Harbour, adjacent to Van Isle Marina. This strategic addition strengthens North’s commitment to sailors across the Pacific Northwest, complementing the existing team at the Vancouver loft in Richmond.
Stuart and Joy express their excitement: "We look forward to continuing to foster the valuable relationships we’ve built within the sailing community. Excited about the positive changes ahead we are ready to exceed expectations by leveraging North’s cutting-edge technology and delivering unparalleled service to Vancouver Island sailors. We look forward to seeing you in the loft soon.”
Ross MacDonald, Olympic Silver medalist and North Sails expert, remarks, "It's been a pleasure getting to know Joy and Stuart over the past 15 years. Their loyal following along the West Coast of Canada underscores their expertise in the industry. Embracing them as part of the North Sails family greatly enhances our ability to cater to our client's diverse needs."
The purpose-built loft, erected in 2014, offers seamless sail-up access and easy parking. Spanning 5,700 square feet, the loft provides comprehensive sail care and repair services, sales, and support.
Canadian Regional Manager, Hugh Beaton, notes: "We warmly welcome Joy, Stuart, and their talented team to North Sails. Their wealth of experience and depth of knowledge elevates our capacity to serve sailors in the Pacific Northwest. We look forward to collaborating with them and expanding our presence in Victoria."
The Victoria team joins the existing trio of North Sails lofts in Canada - Toronto, Vancouver, and Nova Scotia - amplifying support for sailors across the country. The doors are open, and the local team eagerly awaits the opportunity to address all your sail care needs.
