NYLET, a family business, has for the past 15 years been run on a purely mail order basis: we are thus able to focus on orders from at home and abroad enabling us to effect a brisk turnaround on stock items.
On a personal note, a milestone - this year I celebrate 50 years of model sailmaking, and am pleased to say that I take great pleasure in my work, every sail I make is given equal attention to detail. It is also 100 years of sailmaking experience when taken together with my late father, who taught me most of what I know. It might actually be 110 years if I reckon his early years working for his father and making sails for his own dinghy, which he built in the 1920's (before making sails commercially). 174 years ago in the reign of the young Queen Victoria my gt gt grandfather Joseph Parsons first opened his shop (in 1842) and although our products have changed with the passage of almost 200 years I am the fifth generation in the business.

SOME Testimonials
-
Thank you for such excellent service again, quality goods sent at lightning speed. A credit to how things should be done.
Tony, Buckinghamshire -
Thanks Frank, sails arrived, what a work of art! They are incredible!
Deniz, Dubai. I was pleased to receive my new IOM sails today, they are very good indeed just what I wanted, possibly the best I have ever had, good workmanship.
David, SpainMany thanks for the superb Seawind sails that arrived this morning. I really appreciate the speed of processing of the order, and the precision of the finished sails.
Geoff, Cleveland.-
Sails received with thanks. Great quality and great fit!
Trevor, Lincs -
The M-class sails arrived and absolutely fantastic, really pleased and more than happy to recommend your workmanship.
Lee, Berkshire -
The Voyager sails arrived in perfect condition and look beautiful. Thank you very much for the nice work!
Patrick, Belgium -
Just to let you know that the new IOM sails work very well, thank you. I had 2x1st, 2x2nds,2x3rds, and 1 fourth. So I came first overall after 7 races.
Bob, Surrey -
I live on the coast of NSW in Australia. Some time ago I bought Spirit No.2751 (the one featured on your site). I am currently racing the boat here in Australia in several IOM fleets. The elliptical rudder works perfectly and the boat is at full potential now, points higher than the TS2 and the Topiko. Neither are faster off the wind.... Thanks for a great boat, I have never felt another IOM that glides to windward like the Spirit 3. All your efforts are appreciated here.
Garry, Australia -
I just wanted to say a really big thank you for the lovely suit of (Dacron classic sewn) sails you have made for my vintage 4 foot model J Class sloop. I have put the sails on the spars and they look superb! They are beautifully made as I expected them to be, but in all fairness it is actually better than I had even hoped for.
John, Preston -
Sails have arrived safely and look fantastic. Very many thanks.
Colin Ross, Southampton. -
Many thanks, order arrived today, superb service as always.
Colin, Scotland. -
Just a note to thank you for phoning me with the expected delivery of the Dragon sails. They came the same day! I have to say that they look stunning and beautifully made with lovely details.
Roger, Aylesbury. -
I've never won anything before with my One metre (IOM) yacht but with your sails newly fitted I won the series of races. An excellent job, marvellous, thank you.
Paul, Essex. -
Safely received! Thanks for the great service.
Scott, Sussex. -
Hope you are doing well, again, thank you for the (cotton) sails. They turned out beautifully.
E.Saak, USA. -
I immediately rigged my 36"-class and was happy about the perfect fit of the (cotton) sails. They are wonderful and I am happy. Thank you very much!
Klaus, Germany. Sails arrived this morning, as promised; they are a work of art - the real thing! Whatever else people say about the barge, they will say "who made her sails?"
Mike, Cambridgeshire.-
Sails have arrived safely. But what a superb job, my old girl will be the best dressed yacht at any of our VMYG meetings. Wonderful work of the very highest standard as always from you, I cannot thank you enough.
Richard, Norfolk.
