J/105


The North J/105 Class Sail Development (CSD) program is stronger than ever. Our program has consistently helped top sailors finish at the front of their fleets, but even more importantly to us, it has helped our middle-of-the-pack customers become competitive with the top boats. Through continual sail testing and tuning trials, we continue to move our J/105 program forward. Our latest sails and tuning guides have proven to be the most versatile and most user-friendly program on the water. Our customers know that if they use our tuning guide as a baseline, they will be as fast as anyone and can concentrate on race winning tactics.

North Sails offers three Class Jibs. Developed using the most advanced design software suite in the industry and manufactured using the world’s most advanced sailmaking technology - 3DL® - our headsails will help lead you to the top of your fleet. Choose your weapon!

The CJ-2 Aramid Class Jib is a refinement of design combining the best features of our AP-1 and WV-1. With a custom yarn layout, increased DPI, finishing detail refinements and minimum class bag weight of 23 lbs., this sail is the result of extensive testing. Proven fast in both light and heavy air, the CJ-2 jib features a specialized vertical profile to allow for tight sheeting for exceptional pointing ability.

HA-2 Aramid Class Jib The HA jib utilizes horizontal roll battens. The 3DL HA Jib is optimized for the heavy air conditions. The draft forward, straight leech design of the HA jib is ideal for the more windy venues. For PHRF sailors, the HA jib is a perfect complement to your overlapping genoa.

North Sails is working harder than ever to help our customers compete and enjoy their J/105.
