MNC-2 3DLCarbon Mainsail
3DL 800 Carbon 12600 DPI P = 44.05
E = 15.49
Using all carbon threads and a more versatile, user-friendly shape, this latest edition has produced results in a variety of conditions. The overall shape of the mainsail still features a twisty profile with a fuller bottom section.
FEATURES:
» 2 Full Battens, 3 Leech Battens » Choice of colored sail numbers and draft stripes (blue, green, red, and black) » Kevlar spreader patches » Reinforced reef points » Kevlar reinforced head, clew and tack patches » North Sails sail ties » High quality North Sails mainsail roll bag » Leech telltales » Spreader & vision windows » Velcro clew strap » Internal Batten pockets for smoother tacks and gybes » IRC Certificate
With a lower thread count when compared to the Medium or Heavy jibs, the Light jib can be carried in up to 10 knots for a combination of finesse and speed that is needed for light air racing.
FEATURES:
» RBS Performance Battens » Choice of colored draft stripes » North Sails “Turtle” bags for immediate flaking and headsail changes » Custom luff tape for Melges 32 headfoil » Spectra Leech and Foot Cords » Leech telltales » 1 top batten and 2 leech battens- all luff loaded to eliminate snagging spinnaker during maneuvers » Telltale windows in luff of jib » Stainless clew and tack rings » Kevlar reinforced head, clew and tack patches for durability
MC-4 105% 3DL Carbon Medium Jib 3DL 800 Carbon 16800 DPI I = 40.86
J = 10.7
This sail features a sail area that is similar to the Light jib but has a higher thread count for increased durability and a flatter, more draft forward, shape for better performance in stronger wind. Designed for a breeze range of 6-20 knots, this sail is ultra fast in both flat water and big wave venues. The MC-4 has been made slightly larger than the previous MC-3 in the girths and now has a larger useable overlap with the LC-3 Jib and a bit more punch in the sloppy conditions.
FEATURES:
» RBS Performance Battens » Choice of colored draft stripes » North Sails “Turtle” bags for immediate flaking and headsail changes » Custom luff tape for Melges 32 headfoil » Spectra Leech and Foot Cords » Leech telltales » 1 top batten and 2 leech battens- all luff loaded to eliminate snagging spinnaker during maneuvers » Telltale windows in luff of jib » Stainless clew and tack rings » Kevlar reinforced head, clew and tack patches for durability
This sail was design to accommodate high wind velocity venue. It is based on the medium mold with slightly reduce miter depth and luff curve. The lower girths are slightly reduced (same 3D flying girth as MC-3) with the top girth increase to promote better twist distribution. Designed for a breeze range of 14 to 24 knots, this sail is great in flat water or big wave venues and will be a must have for San Francisco type conditions.
FEATURES:
» RBS Performance Battens » Choice of colored draft stripes » North Sails “Turtle” bags for immediate flaking and headsail changes » Custom luff tape for Melges 32 headfoil » Spectra Leech and Foot Cords » Leech telltales » 1 top batten and 2 leech battens- all luff loaded to eliminate snagging spinnaker during maneuvers » Telltale windows in luff of jib » Stainless clew and tack rings » Kevlar reinforced head, clew and tack patches for durability
When the breeze is really howling, and you need to reduce sail area to keep the boat on its feet, our heavy jib is the answer. This sail features a smaller sail area than the Light or Medium jibs, yet it still provides the performance and handling you need in One-Design racing.

As the Melges 32 has developed so has the downwind sail inventory for this high performance racing boat. In an effort to provide the best sail for a variety of conditions, North Sails has produced the following line-up of Melges 32 Spinnakers:
* Melges 32 Class Rule allow for 2 spinnakers to be carried on the boat while racing.
The 3A-1 is our largest spinnaker in terms of sail area and is the ideal selection for when sailing in the dead down wind mode. Built to the maximum mid-girth, this sail is perfect for the 7-13 wind range in either flat or choppy conditions.
FEATURES: » Choice of color and design » Application of custom graphics (graphics require additional cost) » Choice of colored numbers (blue, black, red or green) » Belly Patches for retrieval line » Reinforced head, clew and tack patches
CLOTH CHOICES: » AirX 650 » Contender Superkote » Contender Dynakote Note: numbers/graphics will not stick to Dynakote sail cloth.

2A-1 (Formerly AP Runner/Reacher Code 2A) Sail Area – 1,302 sq feet
With a flatter profile and smaller sail area than the 3A-1, this sail performs very well in lighter conditions or when the 32 wants to get up and plane.
