Product catalog summary
Overview of North NorLon Spinnaker Fabrics
North NorLon spinnaker fabrics are designed with an extremely flat weave to minimize airflow through the fabric. Additional finishing processes are applied to seal and stabilize the cloth further.
Sailcloth Options
The North G-Series GENNAKERS™ are crafted from premium nylon, including North's innovative NORLON™ fabrics. For most boats, a .75 oz. cloth is standard, with options for 1.5 oz. NorLon, NorLon 250, and Norlon 70 available in various designer colors. Custom artwork and graphics can be added through North Sails Graphics.
Color Options
NorLon™ .75 and 1.5 oz. are available in White, Red, Dark Blue, Light Blue, Caribbean, Dark Green, Yellow, Fuscia, Silver/Gray, and Black. NorLon™ 250 comes in Red, White, and Dark Blue, while NorLon™ 70 is offered in White, Red, Dark Blue, Light Blue, Dark Green, and Yellow.
G-Series GENNAKER Models
The G-Series offers three unique GENNAKER™ models optimized using the University of Auckland's "twisted flow" wind-tunnel. These models feature TrueRadial™ construction for a smooth, stable, and easy-to-trim shape. The North SNUFFERPLUS™ sleeve is recommended for easy hoisting and dousing.
