Variable experience of North. Random changes in shape and material for the 3000 sails. Batch of useless javelin jibs from them, batch with too big windows. Then they made a prototype mylar javelin main that is marvellous but costs more than a whole suit from Dick Batt.
Yet to try my North contender sail against the Wavelength ... it's at Hartley for repairs; which currently take forever as their new sail maker is having far too much fun designing new sails for the Hartley product range .. including a forthcoming contender sail ( not many of the Lennon ones sold it seems .... possibly because everyone uses wavelength ) ...none of which has any bearing on flat Vs pin. |

I'm still getting over the trendiness of Australian surf wear in Europe, and the accompanying price tag. I forgot my boardshorts when I packed for the Windsurfer LT worlds and just could not believe or bear to pay the price they were charging for Rip Curl etc at Lake Garda. Having sailed on a North Sails team boat in my youth, and knowing how tight they were about giving away stuff even to their staff after winning nationals, it's pretty odd to see the brand become such a fashion icon among non-sailors. It's a bit like my first trip to Europe, in the windsurfing boom, where every fourth person seemed to be wearing a particular T shirt emblazoned with "Windsurfing World Cup Hookipa Beach" on it. The fact that there had never been such an event was irrelevant as long as it had the magic words on it. Meanwhile, real windsurfing world championship T-shirts were "souvenired" (ie stolen) almost off your backs at such a rate that the organisers had a special system to replace them.

Perhaps we should start a thread for apparel, sartorial feedback would be useful for the fashion conscious.

Mount Gay Cowes Week baseball caps had a certain cachet in my youth
As for Rip Curl, or more specifically Billabong and QS, shame Graeme no longer posts - he’s have the inside track on how the company changed when Oaktree acquired the assets |
