Over the years our team has spent hundreds of hours developing shapes to produce a range of designs that covers the whole wind spectrum for all sailors. Here is a chart that will help you find the design that we think will best suit you:


M-1 All Purpose Mainsail for Avarage/Heavier Sailor
2010 Gold Cup Champion! (M-1 was used by Ed Wright, Rafa and Giles)
2008 Gold Medal AP Mainsail!
Recommended for: 0-20+ knots and crew weight 92+ Kg
The M-1 was Ben Ainslie 2008 Olympics all purpose mainsail. The sail is slightly deeper in order to generate more power; however, the luff panels are rocked so that the fibers follow the cunningham loads, allowing the sail to be de-powered more easily. Manufactured from custom-built Technora laminate, we use a 1mil film in the leech, head and foot panels and 0.75mil film in the luff section, this allows the sail to be competitive throughout the whole wind range. This is our recommended fabric mix for the M-1 mold, however we can manufacture this M-1 design shape in any fabric combination – All 0.75mil M-1L, for example.
The sail comes complete with:
- Class insignia
- Sail numbers
- Sail battens
- Windows
- Telltales
- Class label
- Sail measurement
- Sail bag
All North Mainsails can be built to fit all different
masts. How to measure your mast deflection.
Luff-curve re-cuts available. Contact our Finn experts for details.

Recommended for: 0-8 knots and any crew weight
The M-05 is Ben Ainslie 2008 Olympics light wind 0-10 knot mainsail. Built with slightly less luff curve than the M-1 mainsail to allow for a higher boom off the deck in the lighter conditions. Manufactured from Bainbridge SL-500 Polyester.

- Windows
- Telltales
- Class label
- Sail measurement
