Our goal at North Sails One Design is to design and produce
Snipe sails you can win with. Our current line up includes designs that
provide the best sails for every sailor no matter where they sail or
what equipment they use. Our sails are designed to be easy to set up
and use, so that can concentrate on racing.
We take your input seriously and lately have worked extra hard to make
our sails fast and durable.
As you look over our sails for the Snipe please feel free to ask us
any questions you might have. We are Snipe sailors ourselves and would
be happy to discuss any aspect of Snipe sailing with you. All our sails
come complete with our comprehensive Snipe Racing Guide which includes
straightforward and simple information on how to set up your Snipe for
great performance.
CHOOSING YOUR MAINSAIL:
Depending on the conditions that you sail, the graphic below will help you to choose the North sail(s) that is recommended for the wind range. If you have qny questions, please contact our Snipe experts.

NEW! FT-1 MAINSAIL
1st, 2nd in the first race of the 2009 Worlds!
3rd at the Pacific Coast Championship!
After many months and thousands of hours of sail testing and development, North Sails snipe experts are excited about the high performance capabilities of the new FT-1 Mainsail. This sail was designed to give more power to help the boat through the chop and waves. If you sail mostly in the ocean or other choppy and wavy venues, this is the sail for you. It is very easy to set up with standard tuning.
Mainsails include:
- Snipe insignia
- Sail numbers with country code
- Custom tapered battens
- Shelf foot
- Jib leech sighting window
- Roll bag

AP-5+ MAINSAIL
1st Place Italian Nationals, 1st Place Spanish Nationals,
1st Place District 6 Championship, 3 bullets in Snipe Junior Worlds!
The AP-5+ is our easiest sail to trim. It is designed with more twist, which makes it much easier to prevent the sail from stalling out. The flatter top also makes this sail great in flat water. If you sail mainly in flat water lakes or bays, the AP-5+ would be a great choice.
After taking this sail to Japan and running it through the Advanced Sail Analyzing Software Program, some small adjustments were made to the luff curve to bring the draft a little further aft in the bottom 25% of the sail. We also made the entry a little finer in the bottom 25%. This proved to be a great improvement to sail’s overall performance.
See our AP5+ Quick Tuning Guide
| "At the 2009 Snipe North Americans I had the rig tuned per your instructions and we did not need to do much adjusting. Wind was light. I feel I performed better than I expected. Several times I was near the top of the fleet but weeds did me in!. It was a deep fleet"! -- Don Hackbarth who recently switched to North Sails. |
Mainsails include:
- Snipe insignia
- Sail numbers with country code
- Custom tapered battens
- Shelf foot
- Jib leech sighting window
- Roll bag
