BENEFITS:

CM-08 All-Purpose Mainsail
A great all-purpose mainsail designed for easy tuning and trimming. Built from the best 7.5 oz yarn-tempered Dacron available, the AP mainsail is extremely versatile and performs well over a wide range of wind conditions. This is the sail of choice for boats that sail primarily in under 18 knots.

HA-08 Heavy Air Mainsail updated
The HA mainsail is built from the highest quality 8.6 oz yarn tempered Dacron available. While optimized for San Francisco, it is the perfect sail for any boat that sails the majority of the time in over 15 knots. Despite dominating the San Francisco Series, slightly more luff curve has been added to the top of the sail to better suit the mast bend.

BENEFITS:  
AP-08 Class Jib - Based on our design that powered the North American and Key West Race Week winners, the 3DL AP jib is the mainstay of our lineup. The choice for most fleets, the AP jib is the most versatile of our designs. Proven fast in both light and heavy air, the AP jib features a specialized vertical profile to allow for tight sheeting for exceptional pointing ability.
   
WV-08 Wave Class Jib - A New model to our lineup, the Wave Jib is optimized for lighter air areas with choppy water. Designed with a more powerful head section to allow for a more twisted set-up, the Wave Jib excelled in San Diego testing. If you commonly sail in “light & lumpy” conditions the Wave Jib is for you.
   
HA-08 Heavy Class Jib - An evolution of our San Francisco Bay design use by Good Timin’ to dominate Fleet 1 competition. Optimized for the heavy air conditions on the Bay, the draft forward, straight leech design of the HA jib is ideal for the more windy venues. For PHRF sailors, the HA jib is a perfect compliment to your overlapping genoa.

New V-Series Designs!

Asymmetric spinnaker development continues to move at a rapid pace. North has revolutionized spinnaker development with the new Virtual Wind Tunnel, which accurately simulates downwind airflow over unlimited dynamic range at 100% scale. North’s J-105 team utilized VWT simulations in a quest to develop a better J-105 spinnaker in all wind conditions. Various new design shapes and sail geometries were tested against North’s standard J-105 designs. The result is North’s new VForce J-105 asymmetrics, featuring optimized sail sizing for increased actual surface area under the 89m2 areas rule, greater driving force in all wind speeds, and improved twist characteristics; leech twists easily in light air, yet doesn’t over twist in heavy air. Constructed with North’s new NorLite 70OD, designed specifically for the J-105, the new VForce asymmetrics will give North customers an even greater advantage.
