North Sails' commitment to the T-10 Class has been reconfirmed and our approach to the Class restructured. Now, for North Sails, our One Design Group who concentrate solely on one design classes, has become the guiding force in our T-10 effort. As one design sailors ourselves we appreciate the importance of consistent sail designs and perhaps more importantly, consistent personalized service. Our new T-10 sails have been designed utilizing North exclusive computer sail design program. The designs are, of course, then tied to our laser cutters which ensure not only absolute smoothness, but also provide the ability to completely and accurately reproduce identical shapes sail after sail. Our research this summer has shown that the T-10 needs sails that are relatively full and powerful with the draft well forward, but extremely straight, clean exits. The batten area on both the main and the jib needs to be fairly flat and open with greater twist to help make the boat easy to trim and easy to steer. The relatively round entry in the jib is important to help make the boat forgiving to steer and easier to keep in the "groove". On the other hand, the jib can't be so full in the front that it becomes too full when the headstay sag increases to the extent that it does in the T-10 in a breeze. We feel the spinnaker needs to be fairly flat in the upper sections as it leaves the mast. This helps project the upper leeches open and therefore increase the projected area. Increased fullness in the lower sections help provide the punch for broad reaching and running but will not compromise the sail's ability to close reach.
NEW! BOS T-10 MAINSAIL
NOR BIG BOY JIB The fullest of all our jibs. Ideal for extreme light and lumpy conditions. A fuller, more powerful version of our proven AP Kevlar jib. Built from the same fabric as our AP Kevlar jib, the BIG Boy is designed for those T-10 sailors who sail primarily in light lumpy conditions where developing even more punch is a concern. Since the Big Boy has a fuller entry than many T -10 jibs available today not only is it easier to steer in those critical (shifty, light and/or lumpy) conditions it also provides for more forgiving tuning as it can handle a tighter rig/less headstay sag. Know how sometimes the breeze dies right at the wrong time and we're often caught with the rig a bit tighter than we'd like? The Big Boy is that jib that will help handle those situations and still sail fast!! Give our T-10 experts a call today if you want to hear the latest news in the T-10 sail development here at North! Jib includes: window, telltales and bag. NOR AP JIB An all-around design ideal for those sailing with just one jib. Jib includes: window, telltales and bag.
NEW! BOS SPEED JIB Flatter crosscut design ideal when the wind is higher than the waves. Jib includes: window, telltales and bag.
NEW! BOS WAVE JIB A more powerful jib with a rounder entry and the fullness carried well aft. Jib includes: window, telltales and bag.
