We have been doing on going development in the design process through the long testing session's since last year. We have finally finished the new design's for the mainsails, the PR2 for the lighter winds, and the SW3 for the heavier winds. These have now been introduced in the Catalogue. The two new advanced mainsail designs can cover all conditions with great performance by focusing on the potential in each wind range. In the light wind PR2 is more powerfull, and the SW3 is easy to drive the boat in the heavy wind

PR2 New Tuning Table are released,click and download from left menu bar.

North Sails Japan has released the fastest sail in long history of snipe, based on new technology and concept. "Higher and faster than ever"

Forget about previous sail shape last 50 years in this class, we aim for more efficient flying shape correspond to various conditions, based on experience of big success in 470 class.

We have managed to reach this sails through highly sophisticated calculation by newest design software, and enormous long actual test sailing.

Winning sails of 2006 European Championship!

PR-3 Japan Design

This design is developed based on the former PR-1 design which has a flatter bottom and fuller top. Its performance in light winds was already proved to be a lot quicker than the typical Snipe designs that have been around for years. Our aim is to extend its wind range higher. We spent over 6 months in development and speed testing; we achieved to extend its valid wind range up to 12knots. The PR-3’s performance in this wind range is amazing, it allows the sailors to have not only comfortable feeling with consistent speed, but it is also easy to trim and enables the helm a wider steering groove.

(PR2 has been changed to PR3 to meet the new rule.)

SW-4 Japan Design
SW2 was developed into SW4 which has a little bit more luff curve at the bottom section to make it more all round.

All North snipe sails has spreader window as standard, which will help to keep best trim of jib sail regardless of condition.

Mainsail include:
Spreader Window, Battens, Sail Numbers, Telltales, Insignia and Sail Bag. 

R3-LM Japan Design
The fastest head sail design based on brand-new concept.

Powerful flying R3-LM shows versatile performance from light wind to heavy wind.

From calculation of sail stress, we use two different sail clothes. The lightest, and long lasting jib sail.

(R2-LM has been changed to R3-LM to fit the new rule.
It has the same design as R2-LM.)

Jibsail include:
Vision Window, Telltales.
