Can a Peg Bag be exciting – you betcha!  Have a look at this mouth watering peg bag

Hot off the R&D work benches, the Wightsails peg bag made from recycled sails and …. we have already sold a few of these.  It would appear the nation is still fond of a peg bag.  As one customer put it “… it will give me something nice to look at when I am putting out the washing …”

We have also been practicing photography of products (it just gets more exciting) with white sheets, chairs, bright lights and various instructions from photo professionals.   Lessons so far, you need patience; you need decent lights that stand up and ideally they should be the same lights and you need to build a light box; oh yes…. you also need a camera that is capable of trickery and last but certainly not least, photoshop.

We will keep practicing, but the call for a professional is suddenly looking like a sound investment.    You can buy these beauties now on the site.

I just had to take some pictures of what we have been playing with.  Still early days, but these bags have been out and about and we have already had some positive feedback.  Logos are arriving this week so expect to see some glossy pictures later this week or next week.     We have also looked at the ‘festival trolley’.  A great piece of luggage for carrying your kit to the Isle of Wight festival or the isle of Wight Bestival.  We of course support sensible drinking, but just imagine how much drink and food you can get in one of these – and still look good!!

Anyway, much, much more to come.   The website will be finished this week (won’t it John:)).  I will introduce John when the website goes live, but he is a bit of a guru and I am lucky to have his support so I will be shamelessly plugging his talents along the way.

I also need to thank Paul Newell Sailmaker and Medina Sailcare of Cowes who are big supporters of Wightsails and have provided material that would have otherwise been thrown away.  I have had a chance to look at these businesses and I can say that if I needed a new sail making I would not hesitate to visit one of these sail lofts.  Great guys and great sails.  Thanks !
