FARR 30
The North Sails Class Sail Development (CSD) works with the best
designers worldwide to bring you reliable sails that get results. CSD
Farr 30 sails come from designers who are world champion Farr 30
sailors themselves. They trust the product because they use the product.
For us, every regatta is a sail test, and we are constantly working to
make sure our CSD sails are at the top of the Farr 30 class. North’s
CSD Farr 30 sails have won both inshore and offshore championships,
offering you a proven, fast, and versatile package made with the most
advanced sail manufacture technology in the industry. We have compiled
years of tuning tips to optimize sails, boat and crew, and the Class
Sail Development brings it all to you.
2010 FARR 30 UPDATE
Kirwan Robb and crew aboard
K2 from Sandringham Victoria, have regained the National crown after a two year reign by Guy Stening’s
Optimum.
Aaron Cole from North's Melbourne Sail Loft was part of the team that
put together a consistent regatta and was never outside of the top
three.
K2 featured North 3DL CSD upwind sails, which were built in 2007
and proved the staying power of North 3D molded sails. When he saw the
2007 date, Kirwan asked where the NEW sails were, but speed proved to
be no problem and he commented that they were "very quick in the light
(air) and able to match the best of them in the breezier stuff."
Optimum also used North 3DL sails in her upwind inventory as did third place
Goa.
2009 TOUR DE FRANCE
The Tour de France stopped on July 8th in La Trinité sur Mer. So I spent the whole day on a RIB to check that everything was going well. And the good news is: the
North-powered boats are fast and happy!Check out this great footage from the offshore leg between St Quay and La Trinité (215 milles), Courrier Dunkerque won 2.5 milles ahead of the nearest boat and the first 5 teams were all North-powered!
