For the years the North Highlander sail designs have dominated
the racing circuit. Virtually the top ten in every Highlander regatta
have sailed with North Highlander designs. Recently our Highlander sails
were updated to include larger, better placed visibility windows and
the sail shapes were faired and refined as the sails were redesigned
to be cut on North's exclusive laser cutter. While other sailmakers
have experimented with new designs and even copied what North has developed,
North continues to dominate the Highlander Class.
NORTH HIGHLANDER
MAINSAIL
-
The North Highlander Mainsail is built from 225 HTP cloth
and constructed with a radial head and clew.
-
This sail is not only extremely durable, but also smooth
in the heaviest of winds. It is fairly flat down low with
a relatively open leech to help keep the sail from stalling
in light winds and depower in a breeze.
-
Increased fullness up high in the North Highlander Mainsail
adds to the sails power and pointing capabilities, without
compromising its ability to depower in a breeze.
-
Vision and jib leech windows are included.
- Mainsails include: battens, sail numbers, insignia, vision
window and sail bag.

NORTH HIGHLANDER
STANDARD / CLEWBOARD JIB
-
The North Highlander Jib is built from the same 225 HTP cloth
as the main.
-
It is a relatively open leached jib to help increase the
ease of trimming and steering.
-
Twist in the jib leech is important in a Highlander to help
reduce backwinding the main, which is critical on this over
canvassed one design.
-
The North Highlander Jib can be finished for either the standard
inboard lead with a single grommet or for the clewboard system
where the jib tracks are located on the foredeck.
- Jibs include: vision window, and sail bag.

NORTH HIGHLANDER CROSSCUT
SPINNAKER
|
|
-
The North Highlander Spinnaker is a cross cut design built
out of .75 ounce Fleetwing material.
-
This spinnaker is designed to be relatively flat and open
leeched up high for better performance downwind and broad
reaching.
-
The open leeches give a more projected area downwind and
help to keep the slot open between the spinnaker and the main
while close reaching.
