(carbon) North Sails Sailmaking

Premier spectra TX: high-performance cruising series. Cruising Series delivers a combination of light weight, low stretch and outstanding durability unmatched by any other cruising sail. NLS Gatorback is not only the sail of choice for larger cruising yachts and SuperYachts worldwide, but also numerous long distance recordholders including Commodore Explorer, Enza New Zealand, Primagaz and Mari Cha II. NLS Gatorback is an excellent choice for boats equipped with hydraulic or mechanical boom furling systems which often generate high "point loads". Sectra Gatorback (NorLam Spectra/Dyneema) is the world's leading high-performance sailcloth for large cruising yachts. It is available in a broad selection of standard weights as well as custom styles for yachts where rig/sail loads exceed available cloth styles. NLS Gatorback contains the highest fiber count of any Spectra sailcloth on the market today. For yachts over 80', NLS Gatorback styles feature a "double X thread" to better handle bias loading, especially at reefs.
