Happy new year everyone!

North Sails Ireland is continuing to further push the boundaries of sail design and construction using our Helix load sharing technology.

Helix is being continuously developed and refined by our designers at the very highest levels of the sport. It is of note that 2021 TP 52 World Champion and Super Series winner "Sled" was powered 100% by North Sails.

Like all industries, there is a "trickle-down" effect and North Sails Ireland customers, as always, will benefit from this technology with our first Helix sails appearing in 2020 and 2021.

We have Helix load-sharing headsails, staysails and Code ZERO's in build this year for Sunfast 3600's, J109's, Cape 31's, X302's and a JPK 1030 and we cannot WAIT to see our customers in action with these sails.

On a slightly larger scale, please click here to read about Sydney Hobart line honours winner "Blackjack" and how HELIX was integral to her recent success.
