Smoother Sail Plan & More Power Across The Conditions
As the leading sailmaker in the Thistle class, we are proud to introduce a new mainsail to the North Sails Thistle inventory. Class leaders Paul Abdullah, Mike Ingham, and North Sail Designer Mike Marshall have been working hard to make your Thistle sailing even better than before.
The DSD+ mainsail is built out of Dimension/Polyant 165SQ that proves to be very durable, while the finish keeps the leech nice and straight through all conditions. With a radial lower section, the lower leech stays static as the mast bend is adjusted to match the conditions, providing the user with a smoother, flatter sail plan, with less overbend wrinkles. Incorporating a slight luff curve the sail shape is induced, transferring the power down low, opening the leech.
The new DSD+ Mainsail is another step forward in North Sails goal to make the fastest sails possible. This new mainsail is very popular with inland lake sailors who see more flatter water conditions, though it has seen great success and proven its reliability in open water conditions as well. Standard features include battens, sail numbers, class royalties, insignia, vision window, sail bag, and an optional set of battens.
