North Sails Wave Clear Sail
North 3Di Wave Sail
With North Sails’ new Wave sail windsurfing has changed in ways you couldn’t have imagined. For the better. This featherweight sail wants to be thrown around. Low swing weight gives you maximum precision while doing so, allowing you to surf as hard as you are willing to push it. No stitching, no seams. All moulded into one piece out of exclusive Dyneema Aramid Fibers, giving you a super strong sail that will be in your quiver for many years to come. This sail is designed for the most radical of wave sailors in the most radical of conditions, charging down the line with a very active sailing style. The waves are its home. Truly a wave sail unlike any other sail out there today. Revolutionary technology for windsurfing, brought to you exclusively by North Sails. Go Beyond.Molding the sails in 3D determines the shape. This means we can add unlimited shaping or twist in the sails without being limited to batten position. 3Di skins can transition seamlessly from thicker parts, to hold tension and resist impact, to other areas in the sails which are thinner, lighter and softer. 3Di Molding provides unlimited precision in sail making, unmatched in the world of windsurfing.All the details have been well thought out - from easy to adjust batten tensioners (no tools required) to the loop and go option for the clew and tack pulleys.
Dyneema Aramid
The best sails are made with a carefully engineered blend of the best performing materials. That’s why 3Di sails are composed out of Dyneema Aramid. Dyneema is up to 15 times more resistant than steel. It has very high energy absorption and very low stretch. It is extremely resistant to abrasion, humidity and UV. Aramid is what holds all the Dyneema fibers together. The end result is a composite sail that can be 3D precision molded from 1 piece without a monofilm*. It's very strong and has a very direct feel. It translates the wind instantly into forward drive at the flick of your wrist. (*except the window).
Integrated Batten Pockets
In between the sail's layers we use a special material, machine laid, to create the batten pocket. No seams, no panels to join, no stitching. The material bonds to the Dyneema Aramid fibers but doesn't bond to itself. This leaves the sail with a 100% seamless and continuous fiber layout, fully integrated tunnel with space for the battens. Complex material technology with a smart result.
