Prof O'Connell puts North's Sail Trim Simulator to work in Greystones

The recent North Sails Ireland Talk at Greystones Sailing Club (GSC) has been hailed a great success for the County Wicklow club and North Sails who enjoyed a full house for the Upwind Sail Trim & Boatspeed talk presented by NSI experts Shane Hughes and Prof O’Connell.

Hughes (a GSC Member) took the lead and focused on Upwind Sail trim using the exclusive North Sails Trim simulator.

The audience asked questions and got to see firsthand some of North's tutorial tools like the simulator.

"Rather than just talking about the effects on the rig when certain trim changes are made, the NSI simulator allows you to see them happen before your eyes!", North Sails Ireland boss Nigel Young told Afloat.ie

As previously reported by Afloat.ie, the lecture held on January 17th was open to all members and surrounding clubs. "We were overwhelmed by the feedback", Young said.
