New for 2017!
The new N14-L18 Mainsail was developed for Mat Belcher by the North Sails Japan design team.

Lower drag is created by tweaking the bottom half shape, which improves both speed and pointing performance under full power conditions. "I am very fond...
470 N13-L16 Mainsail
Designed by North Sails Japan, the N13-L16 is made from the same mold of N13-L12 with horizontal panels in the top section. This panel layout makes the exit straighter and the trimming easier, while improving pointing ability in light/medium conditions.

470 S24-B4 Jib
The S5-B4 jib has been very popular with the world's top teams for many years. We converted that sail to a new mold using the latest design software. The result is the S24-B4 jib, which has a similar depth and profile. We modified the tack to make that area smooth and wrinkle-free, and also made the entry finer. The foot was reshaped to make the air...
