S14-B4
Newly developed progressive Design 2007

Our current designs we have now is the S5-B4 design which has deeper entry and straighter exit which performs very good in especially choppy conditions in all wind conditions, and its makes the steering easy to keep the consistent speed through the waves; and the S13-B4 jib is the design which has a flatter entry with a nice top twist leech profile. It is the design good for the flat water. You can easily keep the gap between main and jib nicer. This new S14-B4 is the design which has the entry just in between the S5 and the S13. It also has the good top twist as well like S13-B4 jib. It works well in the regatta which you may have both off shore wind (flat water) and sea breeze or on-shore wind, which is usually choppy or swell. It also works for the sailor who likes to work on the rig tension in a breeze as well.

S13-B4

When we started to work on this new design, our goal was to maximize the air flow effect. Absolutely even entry angle from top to bottom, powerful enough with good top twist to keep the best slot between main and jib. We could finalize this design after a long period of simulation by our newest combined air flow/FEA programs.


S5-B4
Athens Gold Medal Design!!

Paul and Kevin found the obvious difference in speed when they tried it for the first time. They felt pretty comfortable with it because it is easy to steer, build the speed, trim, and powerful enough in all conditions.


S4-B2 (Flatter entry)

S4-B2 has flatter entry compare to S5-B4. Good for the sailor who brings the less rig tension or does it in breezy condition. It also works well in flat water sailing. When you use this jib, having the jib track position a lot forward give you confotable power.


Carbon Batten

North Radial Jibs are featuring carbon batten which is Lightest, strong enough, and smoother shape. Furthermore, minimize damage in heavy wind.

Jib include: Vision Window. Without luff wire.
