Our mission is to be a complete wholesale organisation to sailmakers and riggers in Australia and export to selected markets in the Pacific region. Our success is based on the ability to supply from stock with minimal delay, combined with unsurpassed product knowledge. Being active sailors ourselves, we understand the needs of our customers. Contender is conveniently located in one of Australia's best sailing waters.
Sailmakers
Contender offers a range of sailcloths from one-design to Grand Prix to cruising. We understand the needs of sailmakers and work with them to provide the best materials for the job. The result is a range of fabrics renowned for its quality and performance. Cruising yachts spread across the oceans, Olympic medals, and the America's Cup all share the common thread of Contender Sailcloth.
Complementing our quality range of sailcloth, we carry a world class range of sailmakers hardware products, sourced locally and internationally. We strive to provide a wide range for efficiency and customer convenience.
To accommodate sailmakers needs for sail shades, we are an agent for Ferrari PVC fabrics.
Riggers
For over ten years Contender Sailcloth Pty Ltd has been the national distributor for Selden's Furlex Furlers, Rodkickers and Spinnaker Poles. Since the start of 2007 we have become the complete Australian Selden distributor. We foresee a steady increase in 'aftermarket' business as Selden, being the largest mast manufacturer in the world, is often found on many imported yachts. Complementing Selden's Furlex Furler, we have embarked on educating and marketing the Australian public with the Selden Inmast Furling System. Widely used in Europe already, this trend has started to follow suit in Australia.
