MC-4 105% 3DL Carbon Medium Jib
3DL 800 Carbon 16800 DPI

Designed for a breeze range of 6-20 knots, this sail is ultra fast in both flat water and big wave venues. The MC-4 has been made slightly larger than the previous MC-3 in the girths and now has a larger useable overlap with the LC-3 Jib and a bit more punch in the sloppy conditions.

» Choice of colored draft stripes 
» North Sails “Turtle” bags for immediate flaking and headsail changes 
» Custom luff tape for Melges 32 headfoil

MH-1 105% 3DL Carbon Medium/Heavy Jib

I = 40.86
J = 10.7

This sail was design to accommodate high wind velocity venue. It is based on the medium mold with slightly reduce miter depth and luff curve. The lower girths are slightly reduced (same 3D flying girth as MC-3) with the top girth increase to promote better twist distribution.  Designed for a breeze range of 14 to 24 knots, this sail is great in flat water or big wave venues and will be a must have for San Francisco type conditions.

» Choice of colored draft stripes 
» North Sails “Turtle” bags for immediate flaking and headsail changes 
» Custom luff tape for Melges 32 headfoil 
» Spectra Leech and Foot Cords

HC-3 #4 3DL Carbon Heavy Jib

3DL 800 Carbon 19600 DPI
I = 40.86
J = 10.7

When the breeze is really howling, and you need to reduce sail area to keep the boat on its feet, our heavy jib is the answer. This sail features a smaller sail area than the Light or Medium jibs, yet it still provides the performance and handling you need in One-Design racing.
