North Sails Ireland says the same engineering standards used in the world’s largest performance superyachts are now incorporated across its full sail range.

The sailmaker says the technology delivers performance, durability and efficiency for a wide variety of boats.

“The same engineering excellence that powers the world’s largest performance superyachts is built into every sail we make,” North Sails Ireland says.

The company says the approach allows everyday sailors to benefit from the same design philosophy and technical advances developed for high-performance superyacht programmes.

It adds that the technology ensures consistent performance and reliability across cruising and racing sails.
