North Sails and Bladerider are offering a sail sale to introduce the North V8 Moth mainsail. Buy two mainsails with the carbon batten upgrade and receive 20% off retail (Team up with a buddy and save some cash)! Contact your nearest North Sails loft or click here.
The big question lately is, "What is the different about the North mainsail?" The original concept of the North Sail was to have a powerful design which made tacking, gybeing, starting, etc easier. However, over the last several iterations of the design, the shape has evolved to a sail which has greater top end speed potential through flatter sections and good takeoff power with an improved twist profile. As you can see in the image below, the sail is straighter in the back for low drag when foiling and has a tight mid leech for improved upwind pointing and early foiling.
North Sails philosophy has been simple for the past 50 years. Build the highest quality, best engineered and fastest sail shapes available- no shortcuts and no compromises. The V8 mainsail design is no exception to the North Sails philosophy with only the best material used on the body of the sail (1mil Dimension Polyant Technora Scrim), low friction Dimension Polyant Square Weave Dacron bias cut luff sleeve, RBS Epoxy or Tapered Carbon Fiber battens, shroud chafe protection, internal downhaul webs, adjustable head loop, tell tales, etc. The result is a very light, sail which is easy to use and has incredible top end speeds.
We also have a list of about 10 early test sails which are for sale for anyone who is interested. Mostly deeper sails which would be suitable for heavier sailors or lighter venues when just getting up is the key to winning and high top ends speeds are not necessary.
