#1 2008 NORTH AMERICANS!! Read more>> GOLD! GOLD! GOLD! Jens Kroker, Robert Prem and Siegmund Mainka (GER), Gold in Beijing 2008! "Many thanks again for the sails- they really are a massive improvement on our previous ones which just don't quite level up to yours. In short, you've got one very happy customer. Many thanks." Charlotte Perkins England

North Sonar sails have been a class standard since the early 1980s when the Bruce Kirby designed boat first hit the water. Now, in it's second decade, North continues to be the sail making leader for this 23' Racer/Cruiser. With 500+ boats built, North Sonar Sails dominate the results board including, most recently, winning the North American Championships.

SONAR SUPER MAIN + New for 2006, the improved design that will improve your flat water and light air performance - the new Super Main+. This new design allows the top of the main to stay open and flowing in light air while still providing enough punch in the leech to enable you to point with the best of them. Our Sonar Super Main + is constructed out of North Cloth 5.5 ounce Olympic Dacron. This yarn-tempered, balanced construction cloth proves to be the fastest most durable fabric for this main which, with it's large roach and low aspect design, proves to be quite a lot of fun to trim. Mainsails include: sail numbers, insignia, vision/telltale window and sail bag.

"Just a quick note to tell you how much I like the sails. I sailed in the middle of a Sonar for about 10 races last year, no one else had been on one before. Doug, the bow guy, used to race Solings and Stars but hadn't competed on anything like this in over 20 years. My wife's experience with sailing was sitting on the rail of a C&C 35 four years ago. We're green. We immediately had better or equal boat speed and pointing to any other boat out there. I credit the sails with a large part of our success last night. Given our inexperience my goal was to not finish last. Instead we pulled a 2nd among crews that have far more experience in the boats. It wasn't tactics or boat handling, because our boat handling was terrible and we didn't have time to think tactics, it was pure boatspeed." John D'Aurizio - Sonar   Submit your testimonial       AP ++ JIB Our All-Purpose Plus Plus Jib has won countless North American and Midwinter titles. It's forgiving shape allows the helmsman to easily concentrate on going fast while allowing the jib trimmer to be an integral part of the boats speed. Jib include: vision window, and sail bag. A telltale window is available as an optional.   FP JIB Our new FP Jib is designed for heavy air or light crews that need help in keeping the Sonar flat when the breeze pipes up. An ideal sail for many Para-teams (where you can sail with only two in the rail). The first FP Jib won a race at the Worlds in Cowes and the design was used to win the Fall Para-event in St. Petersburg. Jib include: vision window, and sail bag. A telltale window is available as an optional.

SONAR RADIAL LIGHT SPINNAKER

The Sonar Radial Light Spinnaker, designed by Ched Proctor, was introduced as the one spinnaker to cover a wide range of sailing conditions. This full radial spinnaker is a great reacher, while truly excelling in broad reaching and running on the windward/leeward courses frequently raced by Sonars. NEW COLORS! Now available in white, red, blue, pink, yellow and green!

	"I used four year old North sails and still placed fourth! I finished in front of Bob Winter who had 2 month old Doyle Sails and had Jane Pegal, a very famous woman sailor, as his tactician. It was also the first time I had ever competed in a regatta as helmsman." Tom McGreevy - 2000 Sonar Great Lakes Champs
