Innovative Materials for Best Results

Our racing sails have won more races than any other sailmaker in the world because we are constantly striving to make sails that are stronger, lighter, smoother, lower stretch, and faster: an unending quest for improvement. We are also continually improving our manufacturing, and materials. In the realm of competition el ámbito de la competición, the progressive approach to sailmaking has led to industry-changing innovations like the North Design Suite, 3D sailmaking, and 3Di composite sails, keeping North Sails on the frontline of records above any other manufacturer in the world.

For cruising, the durability is the top priority for any sailor; and durability is determined by much more than materials. It’s the shape that goes first, so engineering, construction, and even components all affect a sail’s usable lifespan. That’s why we maintain control of the entire manufacturing process. The quality is apparent from the moment you hoist your new sail.

logo 3Di

3Di™ is a unique, patented sailmaking technology that produces the world’s fastest and most durable sails.

3Di sails mimic the balanced load bearing and shape holding of a rigid airfoil wing. They are composed of ultra-thin unidirectional spread filament tapes, pre-impregnated with thermoset adhesive, arranged in a complex multiple-axis array, and three-dimensionally molded into a one-piece, flexible composite membrane. A spread filament tape is an individual yarn that has been spread out until the individual filaments lie side-by-side; forming an ultra-thin “tape.” This exclusive technology enables 3Di sails to be made from fiber and adhesive only—without the need for Mylar film. North’s proprietary automated tape laying system allows designers precise control over the placement and orientation of material within each sail. This unitary, monolithic construction produces an airfoil that has balanced resistance to distortion in all directions. Less distortion = more speed.

North Panel Laminate sailcloth is produced using the most advanced laminator in the world.

Our machine was designed by our own materials engineers and purpose-built for laminating sailcloth. North Sails has been manufacturing exclusive cloth in our Sri Lanka facility since 2010. A fully integrated and powerful computer code controls the entire laminating process. Our perfectionist level of control ensures the highest possible quality laminated materials.

The magic of North Paneled Laminates is found in our Exact x-ply machine, which we introduced in 2014. A rotating creel unique to North Sails, it allows on-the-fly application of variable-angle x-scrims, enabling laminate constructions that cannot be copied elsewhere for an entirely new generation of scrim-style sails.

Our proprietary construction process allows for exceptional laminate bonding with minimal use of adhesives. The resulting product is functionally superior sails; lighter weight, higher strength, and increased durability compared to non-North laminates.

NPC is the North Sails woven polyester product family.

North Sails has a long tradition of making dacron sails since the fiber was first introduced as a sailcloth in the 1950’s. Today we control every aspect of the cloth manufacturing processes – using our experience to ensure the highest quality products for both cruising and racing applications. Our North Sails’ materials engineering team focuses on developing and producing sailcloth that will enhance your sailing experience while maximizing the value of your new sail purchase. High-quality weaving and finishing of the perfect combination of yards for the intended purpose, results in high performance with exceptional durability.
