"When I bought our modified Hobie 33, Captain Sluggo, I knew upgrading the sail inventory was key to performance. I turned to North Sails Portsmouth, where Will Welles and the team delivered exceptional support from day one. Together, we built a purpose‑designed sail package for our custom race boat. The mainsail and light/medium jib were built in 3Di RAW for maximum shape retention, durability, and all‑around speed. For the heavy jib, we chose NPL Sport for strength under higher loads, paired with Aerotech spinnakers optimized for offshore conditions. This combination let us match every sail to its exact load profile and racing application. The Portsmouth loft service was equally impressive—fast, precise, and always reliable. Whenever we needed last‑minute tweaks or repairs, they handled it with zero hassle and kept us racing. North Sails consistently went above and beyond, delivering truly custom, one‑off sails that squeeze every bit of performance out of our one‑off race boat.”
Our race sails are engineered to be exceptionally lightweight, durable, and responsive, giving you the advantage in every wind shift.
