Sailing & Nautical Design

Original design for sail makers, yacht brands, and marine events. 

Dana Cooper brings thirty ears of art direction and illustration experience to the water, creating collections that carry the spirit of sailing life into wearable, giftable design. Her work has been commissioned for one of the sport's biggest stages.

Case Study: America's Cup, Bermuda In 2017, Dana was licensed directly by the America's Cup to design an exclusive collection of scarves and sarongs for the 35th America's Cup, held in Bermuda. The collection sold out, bringing Bermuda's color and coastline to a global sailing audience.


"Dana's beautiful designs were a wonderful addition to the range of official merchandise for the 35th America's Cup and she was great to work with. It was important to include companies and designers' products in the programme, and Dana's exclusively designed scarves and wraps provided a real taste of Bermuda style." — Andy Bough, Head of Licensing & Retail, The 35th America's Cup

What Dana Offers Licensed collections for regattas, yacht clubs, and marine events Illustrated designs for sail makers and yacht brands Custom nautical pieces for private yachts and sailing families Cashmere wraps and scarves suited to cool evenings on deck, from the Caribbean to Bermuda to coastal Maine

Why It Works Dana's own sailing heritage, shaped by her father's career as an Olympic sailor and America's Cup judge, and by years spent sailing the Caribbean and New England coast, gives her work an authenticity that resonates with the sailing community. Each piece is built to travel: from the deck to the dock to the dinner table.
