They brought new panel layout design in the Worlds after winning in Kiel week.

The race was held in 12-24knots of breeze during the race except first day where they had 5-6knots.
This is the venue we have strong current, big wave, sometimes flat water. so the very best performance is required.

North 470 Radial Wins Two Gold in Beijing!!

2008 Gold Medal Nathan Wilmot and Malcolm Page (AUS)	2008 Gold Medal Elise Rechichi and Tessa Parkinson (AUS)

Amazing Results!!Australian Men and Women get 2 gold medals since they got 2 gold medals in 2000 Sydney Olympic.

We started development the radial cut design in the 470 class by using North's original computer design program "MemBrain" since 2001 after the 2000 Sydney games.
It is not easy to simulate the sail shapes using the computer because the rig of the 470 is too small to recreate the flying shape with air flow.
But the program North Sails Japan has been developing gradually since 2001 made it possible.
And now we use it for all the one design classes. Designing the sails for the Qingao was the great challenge and has proven how our system works effectively to improve the sail and rig design in specific conditions like Qingdao.
You can see more detail about our design system in "Sail Design by Computer Simulation"
Nathan Wilmot / Malcom page 3 times world champions, and Elise Rechichi/Tessa Parkinson both from Australia won the GOLD MEDAL with North Radial Sails. They spent the last six months to improve their boat speed for the Games by working with us to finalize the rig and sail set-up and design. The Australian Team's speed in the expected light winds in China contributed to their consistent score through the racing.

NORTH SAILS 10 out of 10 in the Worlds! [2008.02.06]

MAXWELL/KINSOLVING(USA)

North Sails scooped all of the top ten placing's in the men's 470 World Championships in Melbourne. Melbourne turned in a mostly unexpected light to moderate wind regatta - where most teams were preparing for some windier weather! This made the regatta very competitive but yet again North Sails came out on top!

Not only did North Sails get 10 out of 10 in the Men's Worlds but they won the Women's Worlds as well, gaining 1, 3, 4, 7. 8. 9. 10 - again an amazing result.

MAXWELL/KINSOLVING won both World and Sail Melbouren in a row with marverous boat speed!!

Although Melbourne is famous for its solid sea-breezes, light - medium winds made up around 70% of the races.
Erin and Isabell from USA Girls won the worlds for the first time after winning Sail Melbourne held one week before, close to the venue of the Worlds.
They sailed superbly in all races with consistent low scores.
The biggest advantage they had was keeping great boat speed all through both regattas which allowed them to play the wind shifts as they liked. The races favoured competitors who could play the middle in the shifty light stuff with the race course located in the big bay surrounded by shore in all directions, making the wind shifty in places.

They used C21-L5 mainsails with S5-B4 jib and V2 spinnaker. C21-L5 (not the standard design but anyone can order) is similar design to the N10-L5 but has a longer leech to make the trim easier.
Their sail set-up was almost perfect in all conditions due to very organized boat speed testing sessions made together with the top US boys last fall before the trials.

S5-B4 jib is still the most popular jib used by the top world top ranked sailors. It is fast in a wider range of conditions to keep top performance.

V2 spinnaker is getting more popular in the worlds top fleet because its performance shows great characteristics specially in light and windy conditions. It performs well in medium winds by playing the spinnaker pole height to stabilize the shape.

Men's Class Results

New Mainsail N10-L5(H) has now released [2007.10..10]

We release new radial cut Mainsail N10-L5(H).

North Japan Sailors win 470 men and women World Championships in Portugal 2007!!! [2007.07.17]

The venue for the 2007 ISAF world championships is famous for its windy and wavy conditions. Sailors have been focusing on this event as it has been the start of the Olympic Qualification for the 2008 games, but they have also had to have all round equipment as it is expected to be lighter winds in Qingdao.

North Japan with their radial design has achieved this. This regatta is the most competitive competition before the 2008 games. North Japan Radial showed amazing performance to dominate all top 5 places in the Men's championships. And all the boats in top 10 used North sails as you can see its results below.

This was the Dutch girl's third world championship win in a row, with North Japan radial It was proved again that North Radial is essential to create the best speed to win the most competitive event the World championships.

We have been working hard on new designs and these have been tested and some are being used by the top 7 teams and these are being released to the general market now.

Well done to all North Japan Sailors on a great result at the World Championships 2007!

Men's Class Results

North　Radial "MADE IN JAPAN" has been creating a lot of winning results!

The new 2007 design Jib S14-B4 and Spin V3 are released!! The North Sails radial design program is still improving to achieve the next goal!
The best designs always come from hard work and our constantly developing design program.
We have been researching further development in design for the mainsail, jib and spinnaker.
Last year we released the new mainsail N10-L5 and new jib S13-B4. Both designs brought a lot of amazing results last year.

Mainsail:

ΔCp map of one of our designs

The Dutch girls who have won the WORLDS twice first started to use N10-L5 from last spring, improving their light - medium wind range performance dramatically, and it definitely gave them obvious advantage to win their second WORLDS in a row.

We have been searching for the best design for the stiffer mast which is the trend for Qingdao conditions since last summer, and we succeeded in finding the right direction to achieve it. We have completed two new designs that are available to all teams:
The first design suits not only Yamaha, but also some other masts which has similar stiffness in the fore-aft axis. The mast must be stiff enough to suit this mainsail. Its performance has already proven to be quick in all wind ranges and especially in light and strong wind range.
The next one is the design developed for in breezy condition based on N10-L5 design for the M7+ or proctor mast.This design is aimed to give the advantage for the 2007 Worlds in Portugal and the 2008 Worlds in Melbourne. Both venues are renowned as generally windy.

We have now two jib designs which are S5-B4 (rounder entry) and S13-B4 (Flatter entry). There is an obvious difference in entry between them so the new design Jib has the entry in between, but with the high twist leech profile which keeps the slot between main and jib fairly open in all conditions.

Spinnaker:

The most popular design has been the A2 since it came out. On the other hand, the V2 spinnaker is very good in light wind or shy reaching, especially in breezy conditions. The A2 has the biggest projected area and good at both running and reaching. The new spinnaker has similar depth as the A2, but the advantage of new spinnaker is the ease of trimming and stability. The A2 still has the advantage in projected area, so you can make the choice according to the conditions or crew`s feeling when trimming it.

North radial won 2005 470 world both in men and women. North won 4 times in a row now.

The 2005 470 worlds was held on the city front side of San Francisco bay and it definitely lived up to its reputation as a windy venue with very strong currents.

Men's Winner 2005 AUS Nathan and Malcolm

Throughout the regatta there was a consistent 10-20 knots wind with a strong current. So during most of the racing, one side of the course was favored. That meant boats could not make good up wind performance without speed. It was obvious that both winning teams had a good set-up for the sails and rig.

North Radial won the Gold in Athens!
North sails Japan designed 470 sails complete 3peat in Olympics!!

Paul Foerster and Kevin Burnham from USA used the latest design sails in Olympics to win a GOLD medal. They performed excellently well through the Game.

All the designs came out after our huge effort for these three years with the final designs completed May 2004 for SPA Regatta (which they won). We have received the following message from Paul & Kevin straight after their success as follows:

Athens 2004 Gold Medalist USA Kevin and Paul

This year as soon as Paul & Kevin’s new mast measurement numbers and setting data were sent to the head office in April, we optimized their sails. We put all the information in our design and analysis programs FLOW and MEMBRAIN to create the new sail shapes.

Firstly we defined the target design to simulate in MEMBRAIN where we can access exactly the same sail shape as the one we have in actual sailing on the water. This is one of the biggest advantages of our design program, and the accuracy is amazing. After checking some flying shapes in MEMBRAIN, we could reach our targeted flying shape over a wide range of wind conditions.
We found the latest design gives more effective air flow around the sails and between the main and the jib to bring better thrust while keeping the same lift.

Since 2001, we have worked with some of World’s top sailors to customize their designs according to their demand or our suggestion. Now Paul and Kevin have proved their sail models must be one of the best, and we have now released this design as the new world standard design.
