Bio for Dan Neri, author of Sail Care & Repair
Dan Neri and his partner Ken Read built the most successful independent sail loft in the US, and their sails won regattas and offshore races throughout the world. In addition to a strong following among cruising sailors, Dan was the premier source for short-handed racers’ sail design and construction in the US.
Dan and Ken later sold their loft to North Sails, where they both still work. For a number of years Dan was director of sailmaking for North US, and he’s now in charge of the North Cruising Sail Division.
Dan in high demand as one of the top racing sailors in the world, and consults with owners and designers on cruising and racing boats, their rigs, rigging, and sails. He and his family have also cruised extensively, most recently with a nine-month sojourn into the Caribbean.
