NORTH F-18
MAINSAIL
The
North F-18 main has a slightly shortened foot with more
roach in the upper quarter. This added projected area provides
a better endplate and helps induce twist in bigger breeze.
Because the added area is slightly lower down in leech from
the head, the twist is induced lower as well. As a result
the sail becomes more forgiving to trim, especially in heavier,
puffy wind.
The sail is built from a 3.0 mil laminated Apen Smoke Pentex
fabric specially chosen to match the higher loads of
a high performance Cat.
Mainsails include:
- Special Epoxy battens
- Sail numbers
- F18 insignia
- Vision/spreader windows
- Sail bag
