Who's Behind It
Growing up
on the water.
Vela's founder is a junior in high school who grew up racing on the East Coast — and we've watched too many good sails get thrown out the moment they're retired from the fleet.
Vela started as a way to keep that cloth out of the landfill. We cut around the wear and sew each piece into a drawstring bag built to be used, not admired.
No two bags are the same, because no two sails are the same. That's the point.
