North Sails

The Worldwide Leader in Sailmaking

In 1957, North Sails founder Lowell North set out to make the best and fastest racing sails the world had ever seen. He succeeded, and went on to reshape sailing forever. Today, whether it’s for an America’s Cup winner, a Vendée Globe champion, Olympic superstar, or weekend day-sailor, every sail we make is born from a champion spirit and pure dedication to the sport we love.

Lowell’s enduring legacy is the combination of leading-edge technology and high-performance materials, which also shaped the first North Sails Apparel collection that launched in 1989 and North Sails Actionsports that followed.
