Emigate to China or South Africa? That seems to be where a lot of the sails are actually made now. The UK sailmakers are increasingly just sales and service operations.

Sorry, that's not very cheerful. Why not ring a few sailmakers and ask?

Friend of mine got a job with a sailmaker on the back of previously having been a saddle maker - apparently they use similar sewing machines....

Not the most obvious route perhaps.
