About us

In 1987, Andrew Landenberger starts to build the first sails in Australia under his own label.

In 1989, "Landy" won the Australian Championship and World Championship in the Moth class with a clean sweep. Andrew's desire to build fast sails led to more and more focus on professional sailing and sailmaking.

In 1996, Andrew won an Olympic silver medal in Atlanta in the Tornado class with Mitch Booth. Since then, Andrew has dedicates his full energy to sailing.

In 1997, Andrew decided to move with his family to Germany. Soon after he started under the Ullman label as Ullman Sails Germany the sails production in Titisee.

In 2001 he founded his own label Landenberger Onedesign and further expanded the production.

In 2004, Felix Egner joins the company, Felix is a trained sailmaker and has completed his training with the renowned Sailloft "Fritz sails" in Prien am Chiemsee.

In 2005, Andrew and Felix sailed the Topcat K1 World Championship "just for fun" to become world champions. In 2006 they become third at the F18 World Championship.

In 2008, Henning Runge started working as a sailmaker at Landenberger Onesdesign, Henning previously worked as a sailmaker at North Sails, Wendel and Rados, and Faber and Münker.

In 2016, Felix Egner takes over Landenberger Sailing and continues the sail label Landenberger OneDesign.

Meanwhile, sailmaking is a full time job and Felix keeps the company going. Andrew has since started a coaching career and finished it in 2016 with an Olympic silver medal as coach of Jason Waterhouse and Lisa Darmanin in Rio.

Currently he runs his farm in Australia and continues to work as a consultant for the sailloft, supporting us during the cold season with sailing tests in Australia.

Over the years, Landenberger has become a sailmaker for Onedesign boat classes and now covers a wide range of different boat classes.

Both the development process and the production techniques are heavily orientated around computer software. Sail making has moved on from an art to an exact science. On average the process we adopt to develop sails in new classes brings us to a very competitive product within three prototypes. This is far quicker than most other One Design lofts can manage who often make a not stop progression of random changes searching for any hint of improvement in performance.


Our sails are cut with a CAD plotter / cutter, regular calibration processes ensure that every sail is cut with the same precision. Then the sails are sewn or glued by our technical staff. A final quality check guarantees that only faultless products are leaving our workshop.

The know-how that we have collected over the years in individual boat classes runs direct into the sail production of our custom build sails. Each of our customers benefits from our experience, no matter if hobby sailor, regatta sailor or professional.


In addition to the sails, our range of products also covers shadesails, awnings, tarpaulins and various other parts such as sprayhoods, maindrop systems and boat covers. We are also the right partner for sail repairs, trailer tarpaulins and repairs of truck tarpaulins and heavy tissue clothing.
