NORTH 800L CARBON MAINSAIL

The all new 3DL 800L Carbon Mainsail was the culmination of several years of sail development by North Sails top sail designers. This is the new sail design that was used to commandingly win the 2008 5.5 Meter Scandinavian Gold Cup as well as the 2008 5.5 Meter World Championship.

This sail has been developed as an all purpose mainsail to be used from 0-25knots. We chose to utilize 100% Carbon fibers in this sail to maximize weight savings, shape holding ability, and longevity. We have seen in other classes that the carbon fiber sails not only last longer, but, they hold their shape better when the wind is up and they flog less than aramid sails.

This new sail features internally molded in batten pockets to insure constant shape from tack to tack, draft stripes, custom batten adjusters, RBS E glass battens, vision windows, spreader patches(loose), and a roll bag.

 

NORTH 600L ARAMID MAINSAIL

The 3DL 600L Aramid Mainsail features the same great shape and specifications as the 3DL 800L mainsail but is produced using 100% Aramid fibers as a lower cost alternative to the 3DL 800L mainsail.

Range:0-25knots.

 

 

 

WAVE TRI-RADIAL NORTH HYBRID ARAMID JIB

NEWLY FINE TUNED SHAPE FOR THE 2008 5.5 METER WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP! The Wave jib is designed to complement either mainsail. This jib is fuller design with lots of power down low and plenty of twist up high to power the boat through the chop or swell of the open sea.

We recently fine tuned the shape of this sail to widen it's effective wind range and give it more power down low. A must have for the 5.5 meter regatta circuit. The designed wind range for this sail is 0-18knts.

Jibs come with draft stripes, vision windows, telltale window, and a roll bag.

 

TL-1 TRI-RADIAL NORTH HYBRID ARAMID JIB

The TL-1 jib is a flatter jib designed to cover the wide wind ranges one can expect on the lakes. This sail is a high pointing, high-speed jib primarily for flatter water, but it is designed with a round enough entry to be used as a medium jib in the open water events. Designed to cover the 0-18 knot wind range. This sail can also be constructed out of heavier cloth for really choppy venues and heavier crews to cover the heavy jib range.

Jibs come with draft stripes, vision windows, telltale window, and a roll bag.

 

MEDIUM/HEAVY TRI-RADIAL NORTH HYBRID ARAMID JIB

The M/H jib is our flat, draft forward blade jib for the really heavy stuff. Constructed out of very strong carbon cloth to maintain its fast shape in a breeze. The designed wind range for this sail is 15-25 knots. The sail has a wide range and can be used as low as 12 knots in flat water.

Jibs come with draft stripes, vision windows, telltale window, and a roll bag.

 

 

 
Four 5.5 Meter Spinnakers are available at North Sails :

	WHOMPER RUNNER SPINNAKER All new design for 2008 5.5 World Championship! 58 square meters of area, we took the Monster and made it even bigger. This sail is fast in 8-20 knots where it's large size is just right. We make this sail out of Airx500 which is a light and durable material that is best in this wind range.
	MONSTER RUNNER SPINNAKER RECOMMENDED AP RUNNER This is the fastest runner on the market, designed to project a large area and has a very fast stable flying shape. This sail is 54 sq.m and constructed with Airx500, a light, stable fabric that sheds water nicely and has a very high tear resistance. The useable wind range for this sail is 6-23 knots, and is the best all purpose runner for a two sail inventory. If you sail in predominantly windy venues you should consider this sail out of Airx 600, a slightly heavier, stronger fabric.
	MID-SIZE RUNNER This sail is designed to cover the lower wind ranges and the tighter angles that you may encounter in a light shifting breeze, especially on the lakes. This sail is 49 sq.m, and constructed out of Superlite 50 .05oz material. This sail is also a very good All Purpose spinnaker for the light air lakes. Recommended wind range 0-8 knots or if necessary up to 25 knots.
	VMG LIGHT RUNNER The VMG Light Runner is designed for the really light drifty stuff where you can barely fly a spinnaker. This sail is 44 sq.m and is made with Contender Superlite 40. This sail is a must have for the Swiss Lakes, or to really fill out the inventory for a serious campaign. If it is very light and lumpy you must have this sail. Designed for 0-6 knots.
