NORTH SAILS NATURAL 2011

The powerful and playful manageable all-arounder now has even more performance than its predecessor and multiple test-winner. This is shown by the fact that all sizes from 6.2 are now equipped with CROSS.BATTEN and CUTAWAY.CLEW which gives the NATURAL not only better acceleration but also an increase in high end stability and speed.

In the course of laborious tests, Kai Hopf developed a new sail layout that requires much less trimming know-how. This means less time and knowledge is required for the setup, without need for subsequent adjustments!

The secret of the perfectly balanced range of the NATURAL is the PROGRESSIVE.BATTEN.CONFIGURATION. As a result, the focus for sizes up to 5.8m2 is still on handling and draft stability, which explains why only 5 battens are in place.

At 6.2m2 and above, the design focuses on performance while Kai Hopf once again concentrated on simple rig control and handling characteristics. Both versions offer excellent control, a high level of comfort, and plenty of planing ability - the perfect synthesis of speed, acceleration, and handling. The new NATURAL will make windsurfing much less complicated, and we believe that for many sailors the problem of choosing the right equipment is almost obsolete.
