Design is at the heart of every sail we build at North Sails, here in Ireland we take design seriously.

From the initial consultation with our clients right through to the sail trial is all about the design.

We are so fortunate here in North Sails Ireland to work directly with Dave Lenz and his European design team. The level of expertise is unrivalled in the industry.

With a team of 60-strong, North Sails designers are innovators and opinion leaders, and their collective experience is our competitive advantage.

Episode 2 of our new podcast (below) features host Ken Read with JB Braun and Dave Lenz discussing why the North Sails design team is a force to be reckoned with.

We hope you enjoy the Podcast and we look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards from the NS Ireland Team

We've got a favour to ask

More people are reading Afloat.ie than ever thanks to the power of the internet but we're in stormy seas because advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news sites, we haven't put up a paywall because we want to keep our marine journalism open.

Afloat.ie is Ireland's only full-time marine journalism team and it takes time, money and hard work to produce our content.

So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
