What my customers have to say

The quality of the Prindle 16 sails I purchased from Chris at Flying Fish Arts is fantastic, and very well made. Chris's graphics (Kraken/octopus) are exceptional and I receive compliments every time I sail. It's honestly the best thing I purchased in many years. Thanks, Chris!

I ordered some new sail bags from Chris that are top of the line … full double zipper on the top along with breathable ends … he also added two pockets for block and tackle and even room left over on the length for life jackets and spare parts. I have had lots of sail bags but these stand out from all the others.  I bought a shorter bag for my wave sail. After ordering 3 bags, I highly recommend Chris when you are in need of some bags to cover and protect the sails…

From start to finish, the design process for sail graphics on my Hobie 16 was an easy, seamless, collaborative and enjoyable experience. After stumbling upon some of his work on Facebook I was hooked and wanted something special for my boat. I had an idea of what I wanted and Chris offered some suggestions and samples of other designs. I selected one of those and incorporated it with my original design. I packed my sails in a box, sent them to Chris. The sails I received back were beautiful! For a year or 2 I had the coolest sails on the beach out of the 40+  boats in our fleet! .... Until last year when one of the other sailors in my fleet purchased a set of Kracken sails from Chris for his boat. Thanks Chris, I still love my sails, and they are holding up great even though I sail a LOT, 20-25 times per year, you can trust this guy to do great work at a reasonable price.

Chris first painted my wave sail exactly as I had hoped he would so I asked him to make graphics for my hulls and boy again he did great.  This guy really knows what he is doing… I say give Chris a call if you need painted sails or graphics … He also took care of my Hobie -16 with a new sail painted and again great graphics for the old Hobie’s hulls.   A true master..

I highly recommend any product Chris Picknally is involved with. He is an honest caring person dedicated to helping anyone and everyone in the sailing community.  His sail graphics are unmatched in quality and design. I have seen many. The sail bags I purchased from him are high quality and offered at an unbeatable price.  Chris Santley, Phoenix Arizona

Chris was able to create a sail graphic from a picture of one of my tattoos. It was a very personal experience. He did great artwork in a timely fashion. My only regret is that I sent a practice sail instead of a new one. My mistake, as I trust him implicitly to honor his craft and his clients' wishes.

I reached out to Chris Picknally of Flying Fish Arts a year or so ago after discovering him and his work on social media. I gave him a “Kraken” sail project to work on for an old Hobie 16 on mine and he knocked it out of the park! It started with a quote that fit my budget, then to the design and color scheme to match my hulls, and then to a target date where it arrived on time. There are no surprises with Chris, everything was perfect and on point. When I’m out on the bay or open ocean waters in NJ, Chris’s “Kraken” sail are turning heads. His work is outstanding and I look forward to increase my collection of custom sails for my two other catamarans. Thank you Chris for your great work and kind service!!!
