| | | 01 DOUBLE.SEAM. TECHNOLOGY twice as durable, half the stretch ***************************** NORTH SAILS standsforwindsurf technologyand unsurpassed quality that increases the lifespan ofyoursail. Ourzigzag triple stitchseamsplayamajorrole in the durability of our sails. And nowwe use double seams inallhighstressareasthatare particularlyexposed to damage and crashes. This technology not only increases tear strength but also reduces stretch by up to 50%, resulting in higher pro^le stability and performance. Our DOUBLE. SEAM.TECHNOLOGY therefore kills two birds with one stone and substantially increases your sail's durability. | | | 06 VTS VISUAL.....TRIM.SYSTEM perfect trim plusahuge range of application! ***************************** Faster and more accurate tuning is impossiblelSimplydownhaulthe sail until a luff reachesthe mark "lowerwind limit"or"upperwind limit"(dependingonwmdspeed) appears at the top of the loose leech. That's all! The patented VTS® acts like a turbo boat charger and ensures maximum performance in a wide varietyofconditions. | | |

In the past this extra powercamewith the disadvantage of tedious rigging and hard beating battens. The new HYPER.CAMS put an end to these drawbacks. The plastic buckle was eliminated and the camber now restsonlyontherollers to reduce friction.Therollershave a newshape that permitssliding themupanymastOndependentof itsdiameter) insteadofsnapping themon.Thismakesournew cambered sails very easy to rig and ride and permitsyou to rediscover the ultimate performance thatourracersfeelthroughthe latest cambertechnology. | | |

| | | 07 UNIVERSAL.....TACK.FITTING minimal forces for perfect trim ****************************** The integrated triple rollers significantly reduce trim forces on the luff panel. The brass rollers keepfrictiontoaminimum.We use brass for its self-lubricating propertiesthatprevent seizing. The rolls are easily removed for usingapulley hook. Raceheads can even use high-end rolls with ball bearings. | | |

It doesn't always takehugewaves todamagea sail.Sometimesyouget flung off yourboardandthehookputs a hole into the profile. The hole itself is usuallynoproblembut maybecome a risk if itwidens onyourway back to the beach or even causes the sail to rip across thewhole panel. In theworst case yoursail maybe ripped in two pieceswith no chance of repair. The RIPSTOP.FRAME. DESIGN uses reinforced fabrics aroundtheentire sail, just like a frame, to prevent exactly that. The clever combination of lightweight materials at the center and very resilient fabrics attheedges keeps overallweightverylow. | | |

FEATURES 007 50 YEARS OF LEADING SAIL TECHNOLOGY For 50 years we have been dedi-catingaUoureffortsto research, development and production of top quality profiles and sails foryacht-ing, windsurfing and kiteboarding. Almost all the titles of these various sports have been won by athletes who use our products. Revolutionary approaches and technologieswere and will always be part of our success. Here is an overview of current solutions and innovations that reflect the outstanding performance of NORTHSAILSWindsurfmg. | | |
| | | 08 FLIP.ROTATING.SYSTEM nojerking, no hard rotation! ***************************** Eliminates hard rotation and jerks. Battens rotate freely behind the mast. | | |

| | | windspeeds ***************************** DesignerKai Hopfderivedthe new TT.TOP directlyfrom the WARP F2006 World Champion sail. He reduced the concave shape compared to lastyear's modelforabetterdistributionof loads and a more effective, three dimensional top twist. That means that in highwind conditions, the top not only twists horizontally but also vertically. Gusts are virtually neutralized and the rig remains stable inyou hands. | | |

| | | 09 MAST.SLEEVE.OPENER friction free insertion of the mast into the mast pocket ***************************** A clever trick puts anendto tedious fumbling when inserting the mast. A rubber logo above the boom cutout opens the mast pocket and permits single handinsertionofthe mast withouttheneedto pull at the luff. | | |
