OUR STORY

At 10 Knots Sailing Clothing, we have set out to revolutionize women's sailing gear, moving beyond the ill-fitting designs of legacy brands. Born on the waves of the Great Lakes,  our mission is to empower women with functional, stylish, and performance-driven apparel. This summer, we're launching three essential styles of sailing shorts for racing, cruising, and dinghy sailing, each crafted for optimal movement.  And this is just the start – we hope you will come along on our journey!

What we are all about

At 10 Knots, we are dedicated to breaking barriers and empowering women on the water. We believe that every sailor, regardless of gender, should have access to functional, comfortable, and stylish gear.

10 Knots sailor Spotlight: MCKENZIE

Humble Brag: Raced in all 5 Great Lakes in 2025

Main Positions: Spinnaker Trimmer & Headsail Trimmer (not afraid to take the helm either)

Why She loves 10 Knots: “10 Knots has been a game changer for me and my sailing basics,  the shorts have so many functional pockets, fast-drying fabric, and are seriously so comfortable. I can fit all of my tools in them and still feel comfortable with the flexible fabric even on long haul sails.”
