J/80
© North SailsNorth Sails has been involved in the J/80 Class from the very beginning. Based on the experience drawn from Americas Cup sail design, the North Sails One Design Group has worked with top J/80 sailors to constantly improve the sail inventory. Ease of trimming, durability and a logical selection of downwind sails have made North Sails the most popular choice for J/80 sailors.

Main Z-9

Jib SK-1
J/80 Jib SK-1© North SailsSK-1 is a development from our KXX-3 jib with an improved design and new cloth. This model is designed for light/all-round conditions and inshore sailing. With 9000 DPI Kevlar this sail is a bit lighter than the BTY-2.

Jib BTY-2
J/80 Jib BTY-2© North SailsBTY-2 is our offshore alternative with a powerful design and 14000 DPI Kevlar witch gives you a great shape retention and endurance. Both jibs are great all-round sails and the small design differences are there to give the sail a small edge in the conditions you want to optimize your boat for.
Gennaker SA-2
This maximum area SA-2 Gennaker is designed for windward/leeward racing. The luff of the SA-2 rotates to windward giving good speed on deep running angles. The Dynalite 0.75oz silicon cloth makes this Gennaker easy to handle during manouveres.
Gennaker SA-3Â
© North SailsThe SA-3 Gennaker uses a combination of 0.9oz and 0.75oz nylon. The SA-3 has a wider wind range compared to the SA-2 which makes this sail the perfect choice for long distance racing or for windward/ leeward regattas with higher average wind speeds.
