| North's powerful new V-Series
asymmetrics are descendants of our dominant America's Cup designs.
They were designed using a revolutionary twisted flow wind tunnel
jointly developed by North Sails, Team New Zealand, and the
University of Auckland. The result is a spinnaker that delivers more
power and more stability over a broader wind spectrum, which is especially
important for today's generation of lighter, faster-accelerating boats. |

|  North
V-Series Asymmetrics
are available in five different "codes" that allow
you to match your asymmetric to your style of racing. North's CODE
2A and 4A Runner molds, for instance, are larger and fuller than
the CODE 1A, 3A and 5A Reachers, with maximum girth carried higher
up in the head of the sail. This helps rotate the sail to windward,
out from behind the mainsail for improved performance at the deeper
wind angles commonly sailed in windward / leeward courses.

NOTE: Different rating rules
treat Asymmetric and Symmetric spinnakers differently, and there
are times when a boat may be better served by an All-Purpose Symmetric
Reacher/Runner. Your North representative can help you make the
best choice for your boat and crew.
All North Asymmetric spinnaker panels are computer molded, both
horizontally and vertically, resulting in an exceptionally fair
shape, and are optimized with North's exclusive Flow™ and Membrane™
computer simulation programs, which analyze pressure and stresses
on the sail at various wind speeds and angles.
