The North Sails Class Development Program (CDP) has been dedicated to the Farr 40 class since its creation over ten years ago. Boats powered with North CDP sails have won every world championship ever held in the Farr 40 class, and we look forward to many more as the class continues to grow. North CDP sails have always been the sail of choice, and as the Farr 40 class moves from fractionals to mastheads or Aramid to carbon, North Sails continues to be a leader in material and design development.

Farr 40s race with the top professionals in the game, and the pros always request North CDP sails. North CDP sails are not only at the top of the class; they are the most popular sails in the class. Wherever you may stand in the fleet, the CDP has compiled expert tuning tips to optimize your sails, boat and crew so that you can get those extra points that make the difference.
