Our New Online Shop

If you haven’t visited our online shop in a while, now is the time to check it out. We’ve completed our transition, worked out the bugs, and we’re now up and running smoothly.

AGES OF SAIL

With the new online shop, still www.agesofsail.com, we tried to keep the function and presentation familiar to our existing customers. Some things had to change, based on the capabilities and features of the new software platform we’re using. But, the new platform will also allow us to add useful features in the future, and gives us a better web presence from the start.

For instance, to see the selection of product categories, which used to sit at the top of the shop page, you now view simply by clicking on the Shop menu at the top of the page.

We hope you’ll check it out and find your way around our store. For those who live nearby, you’ll notice that you can now opt for free local pickup at our shop in San Lorenzo, CA. If you have any questions or comments, good or bad, please use the feedback form on the Contact Us page, accessible in the main navigation menu. Hope to hear from you!

New Ages of Sail Shop in Transition

August 14, 2025 / agesofsail / Leave a comment

We’re currently in the middle of transitioning our Ages of Sail online shop to a new server using new software. We just made the switch-over today and there are a few issues that still need to be ironed out, but it’s coming along.

If you’re having troubles in the next couple days, that’s probably why. However, if you still have issues after a couple days, send us an email to agesofsail@gmail.com and let us know, or see if the issues clear up in a couple days.

If you need to place and order and find you’re having issues, feel free to give us a call to place the order over the phone at (510) 461-7800.

If you happen to in the area or are planning to make a trip to the NRG Conference in Mystic, Connecticut, make sure to stop by the Ages of Sail table to say hello!

Our table at the 2014 NRG Conference in St. Louis, MO.

Amazing ship modeler and author David Antscherl caught me taking a photo of him among the ship models on display at the 2014 NRG Conference.

The conference takes place Thursday, October 22nd through Saturday, October 24th at the Mystic Hilton. We’ll make sure to have a selection of some of the latest ship model kits, plus an assortment of fittings and tools for those who like to come home from the conference with a few useful items.

This will be our third year attending the NRG conference and we’re really looking forward to participating again. Hope to see you there!

Welcome
