BRAND North sails

North Sails was founded in 1957 by Lowell North, an American sailor and Olympic gold medalist. North was also an engineer, who methodically focused on building sails faster than any competitor, and over the years his legacy has endured in the brand's culture of innovation and exploration, producing generations of patented products and racing champions. Today, Lowell North's inspiration lives on in the North Sails products, designed and developed so consumers can focus on what's important - getting out on the water or simply sailing through modern life. Since its inception in 1987, the brand has combined classic Italian design with the history and heritage of the American brand.
