Ullman Sails hereby announces that there is a significant ownership change to its
San Diego and Pacific Northwest operations.
Chuck Skewes, the face you’ve seen representing the Ullman Sails brand for more
than 30 years, is now a proud member of the dynamic ownership team of a large
portion of Ullman Sails West Coast. The other half of the new ownership team is
Sabine Suessmann. Skewes and Suessmann were already the owners and
operators of Ullman Sails Puerto Vallarta.
A native of Vashon Island, Washington, Skewes is one of a few pro sailors who
has dedicated his entire life to the art of sail making. His success on the
international race course is undeniable with many top-placing performances in a
wide variety of boats in- and offshore. With more than 30 years experience in the
sail making industry and more than 45 years in the international sailing scene,
Skewes is excited to take up this new role where he can ensure that Ullman Sails
offers consistently reliable customer service, quality sail repair, and speedy
response times, adding, “It’s great to be able to ensure a top-quality experience for
all West coast sailors from Canada to Mexico.”
In addition to being a skilled and passionate sailor, Suessmann has more than 20
years of international experience in marketing and administration, and will be
leading the process of implementing seamless systems between the three Ullman
Sails lofts.
