Testimonials from MAD sailors
I originally contacted Ryan at Mad Sails to build sails for the Megabyte Class. As the class president it was important to bring a sailmaker on board that would provide a good product, consistent quality and excellent customer service. From my initial contact with Mad Sails through post-delivery follow-up, the experience was nothing short of fantastic. The new sails increased performance and were quick to dial in that “groove” in […]
You can’t beat Ryan Malmgren for customer service and commitment to the Flying Scot class. He makes very high quality sails and he builds them himself.
Harry Carpenter says that Mad’s new AriX tri radial spinnaker is great. As you know John Larson and I are flying Mad sails, mine have sailed three years, probably 200 races. The cloth still looks great. …These are fast, long lasting sails.
Last weekend at the Ohio districts we had to sail a very tight reach… in about 5 mph. We took down the jib and flew the new chute. We were doing great, and … we were the only ones who seemed to be able to fly the chute so close to the wind. We left
Overall the [Mad Lido 14] jib seemed tighter than what I’m used to looking at. But…. We pointed to the f in moon!… Main [Mad Lido 14]- Really nice! Main luff window looks amazing and is definitely a head turner!…Upwind angles were killer. Downwind I seemed faster than normal too.

Hi Ryan- just wanted to … let you know I LOVE THE NEW SAILS!!!! The new boat is fast, and the sails are easy to trim and perform really well. Thanks!
We took Jeanette out for Wednesday night races with our new Mad Sails racing jib. …in 6 races, we took four 1st place finishes, one 2nd and one 3rd. The Vice Commodore… said: ‘You were flying compared to the other boats on starboard tack coming off the starting line. Looked really good upwind … You’re
I really like some of the features you use. [For example:][1] The craftsmanship looks very nice![2] Not sewing the bottom of the bolt rope. I have cut the stitches on two North mains – as they get older the bolt rope shrinks and pulls on the sail.[3] The jib telltale window is very nice.
I went out racing with Herb Larrabee yesterday in the Sarasota Bay Cup…. he had brand new Mad sails. He had good boat speed and the most beautiful spinnaker! … He couldn’t stop admiring and complimenting your work on the spinnaker.
