Sailing may not be popular in some countries, but it is quite famous in others. It is the sport of using wind to power sails and propel the boat forward. Today it is mostly a recreational activity. Recreational sailing or yachting can be divided into racing and cruising. Cruising can include extended offshore and ocean-crossing trips, coastal sailing within sight of land, and daysailing.
North Sails
The company North Sails is probably one of the companies that are most associated with Sailing. It is an international sailmaker with operations in 29 countries and is the world’s largest sailmaker. North Sails designs, engineers, and produces sails for racing and cruising sailboats from 8 feet (2.5m) to more than 200 feet (60m) in length. Today, North Sails also has an apparel line. They are designed and developed so that the customers can focus on what is important for them, and that is taking on the sea and navigating modern life.
North Sails was founded by Lowell North, an American sailor, and Olympic Gold Medalist, in 1957. Since he was an engineer, he methodically focused on building sails that were faster than any competitor’s. Year after year, Lowell North and his team pioneered new innovative technologies that conquered wind and water, explored the ocean, and won races. North Sails introduced the 3DL line of upwind sails in 1992. It manufactures 3DL sails in facilities in Minden, Nevada, and Sri Lanka.
