J/105

The North J/105 Class Sail Development program is stronger than ever. Worldwide North have enjoyed the most consistent success in the class. Our program has consistently helped top sailors finish at the front of their fleets, but even more importantly to us, it has helped our middle-of-the-pack customers become competitive with the top guys. Through continual sail testing and tuning trials, we continue to move our J/105 program forward. Our latest sails and tuning guides have proven to be the most versatile and most user-friendly program on the water. Our customers know that if they use our tuning guide as a baseline that they will be as fast as anyone and can concentrate on race winning tactics.

After extensive testing over the last nine months, North Sails is proud to introduce our complete lineup of Aramid jibs. We are now offering three models, optimized for specific conditions. Developed using the most advanced design software suite in the industry and manufactured using the world’s most advanced sailmaking technology, 3DL^®, our lineup of jibs will help lead you to the top of your fleet. Choose your weapon!

© North SailsThe 3DL AP jib is the mainstay of our lineup. The choice for most fleets, the AP jib is the most versatile of our designs. Proven fast in both light and heavy air, the AP jib features a specialized vertical profile to allow for tight sheeting for exceptional pointing ability.

© North SailsThe 3DL HA Jib is optimized for the heavy air conditions. The draft forward, straight leech design of the HA jib is ideal for the more windy venues. For PHRF sailors, the HA jib is a perfect compliment to your overlapping genoa.

© North SailsThe Wave Jib is optimized for lighter air areas with choppy water, with a more powerful head section to allow for a more twisted set-up. If you commonly sail in “light & lumpy” conditions the Wave Jib is for you.
