Title: So which sails should we opt for
Post by: David chandler on July 10, 2015, 03:20:12 PM
Hi just joined the class , question is,do I go with North sails or the standard?
I am delighted to be sailing with the Ullswater group in the uk so crew weights will vary from week to week.
Just interested in your thoughts
Regards

I am surprised no one has commented.  North has worked hard to update the sail design.  They have had one of their one design consultants at regattas and it has resulted in many tweaks to the design to improve the performance.  I believe they are on ten 6 or 7 now. You can order a "Tournament of Champion sail set" at a significant discount.  Time is quickly running out on this deal. Contact Brian immediately.

See the "tip and techniques section" of this forum for a tuning guide.  The guide may also be on North Sails one design (VX) site.
