Taming the Spinnaker


 


"Had our very first race with the Flying Scot last evening and got our very first Bullet. Sails looked and felt great."

"We took first overall in our spring series. Fully enjoying the sails! Wish we had enough wind to get the FS on plane."

Bob Klein - FS4049 Pied Piper
--------------------------------------------
"Greg, I just want to thank you for putting your sail trim guidelines up on the web with pictures! I've been sailing Flying Scot for about 3 summers and have read many guides to sail trim that are confusing and incomplete to the beginner, and w/o pictures to illustrate what is being said. Now my crew and I won't be yelling at each other."

Jim Dinger
----------------------------------------------
"I got the sails and used them this weekend in the Fall 48. The wind was very light and variable, but my sails looked great. The boat had great speed. It was fun to have #24 as fast as the rest! Thanks. "

North Flying Scot sails continue to prove themselves as the fastest and easiest to trim sails in the class. No other sailmaker spends as much time ensuring that their sails are not only easy to trim and the fastest over a wide range of conditions, but also provide their customers with the personal service that they deserve. North Flying Scot personnel always attend the major Championships and regularly provide fleets and clubs with informative clinics.



NEW! NORTH AP MAINSAIL
  • #1 2008 Midwinters!

  • The newest sail in our Flying Scot inventory, the North AP Mainsail has already proven to be fast in all conditions.

  • It has been recently optimized with a slightly flatter lower luff area to reduce backwind in light to medium winds and in the upper sections to increase power and pointing ability in all conditions.

  • The North AP Mainsail is fitted with a shelf foot and custom reinforcements to help distribute the loads into the sail.

  • Ideal sail for crew weight under 450 lbs. or for those that like a slighter flatter sail.

  • Mainsails include: battens, sail numbers, insignia, vision/small jib leech window, and sail bag.

  • A large jib leech window that allows viewing of the entire jib leech, including both battens, is available at an additional charge.

 

NORTH LC-1 MAINSAIL

    The North LC-1 Mainsail is an ideal all-around performer especially suited to those sailors needing power in choppy, wavy conditions with heavier crew weight.

  • The LC-1 Mainsail is also fitted with a shelf foot and custom reinforcements to help distribute the loads into the sail.

  • This sail is specifically designed for crew weight above 450 lbs.

  • Mainsails include: battens, sail numbers, insignia, vision/small jib leech window, and sail bag.

  • A large jib leech window that allows viewing of the entire jib leech, including both battens, is available at an additional charge.


NORTH SNUG RIG JIB

  • The Snug Rig Jib is designed to be a great compromise between the Tight and Loose Rig jibs. It is ideal for those Scot sailors who like sailing with a rig tighter than the Loose Rig but don't want to work so hard to set the rig up as tight as necessary with the Tight rig setup. Ideally the rig should be tensioned tight enough that the tension gauge reads around 80 lbs. when measured on the forestay.

  • Similar to the Tight Rig Jib, the Snug Rig jib is especially easy to trim and steer due to its full and powerful entry. The steering groove on this jib is nearly the widest (least critical) of any Scot jib, second only to the Tight Rig jib, on the market today.

  • The upper leech is open and again, less demanding sheet tension-wise.

  • This jib is ideal for those Scot Sailors who want a very forgiving sail to trim and steer but want an easy set up tuning wise. The Snug Rig Jib, like the Tight Rig Jib, is a great choice for those who sail in primarily light and sloppy conditions or are relatively newer sailors, still becoming familiar with steering the Flying Scot.

  • Also built from the best firm finish 3.8 oz fabric.

  • Jibs include: vision window, and sail bag.



NORTH LOOSE RIG JIB

  • The Loose Rig Jib is designed for the "Sloppy Rig" tuning setup. A tried and true performer that sets up on the rig tuned with 3" of play fore and aft in the rig setting.

  • This jib is an easy jib to trim and forgiving to steer.

  • The upper leech is relatively open and therefore sheet tension is less critical.

  • This jib is ideal for those Scot sailors who want the ability to "Change Gears" through mainsheet trim....

  • Built from low stretch durable hard finish 3.8 oz fabric finished specifically to North Sails One Design's requirements.

  • Jibs include: vision window, and sail bag.




NORTH TIGHT RIG JIB

  • The Tight Rig Jib is designed to be sailed on a much tighter rig tune. Ideally the tension should be tight enough that the rig reads 220-250 lbs. when measured on the forestay. This jib is the fullest and most powerful in the North lineup. A full entry gives this jib the widest and most forgiving groove.

  • This jib is especially easy to trim and steer due to its full and powerfully entry. The steering groove on this jib is the widest (least critical) of any Scot jib on the market today.

  • The upper leech is open and again, less demanding sheet tension-wise.

  • This jib is ideal for those Scot Sailors who want the most forgiving sail to trim and steer. The rig simply does not change much as the conditions change, so the tuning and trim is almost self adjusting. The Tight Rig Jib is perfect for those who sail in primarily light and sloppy conditions or are relatively newer sailors, still becoming familiar with steering the Flying Scot.

  • Also built from the best firm finish 3.8 oz fabric.

  • Jibs include: vision window, and sail bag.

BR-1 FULL RADIAL AIRX SPINNAKER


  • The BR-1 utilizes the latest design and panel layout. All the panels are fully aligned with the load paths throughout the spinnaker.

  • Built from AirX, the best spinnaker fabric available, it is fast and durable.

  • Flatter in the head than other spinnaker designs it will prove to be the fastest downwind spinnaker on the course!

 



FAQ:
What is the difference between the Crosscut and Radial spinnaker?
Here's what Greg Fisher has to say



CROSSCUT SPINNAKER


  • The North Crosscut Spinnaker is built out of Challenge .75 ounce nylon.

  • The North CrossCut Spinnaker is characterized by a relatively flat upper section which helps to project the leeches and provide more area dead downwind. The more open upper sections help to open the slot between the main and the spinnaker and thereby increases its close reaching performance.

  • The North CrossCut Spinnaker is one of the easiest, most forgiving spinnakers to trim.

 

 

 


"What a great night Greg Fisher provided NCSC with the delivery of new Flying Scot sails, tight rig jib information and racing Scots and Thistles. Everyone had a great time and learned much."
Don Hurst
- NCSC

 
 


"Thought I'd drop a line and let you know we missed the wife/husband regatta, but did make it to the 45th FS Anniversary regatta at Cowan Lake. This was our first regatta entered and 1st time using the new sails----placed 3rd overall in the challenger division. The sails do make a difference."
Mike & Claudia Crane - FS 4888
