HELIX CODE 55
The Helix Code 55 is a free-flying sail with a highly efficient aspect ratio. This sail is tacked off the bowsprit and optimized for a 35-degree apparent wind speed, making it an ideal Code sail for offshore racing, multihull sailing, and performance cruising.

NPL DOWNWIND
For the first time, sailors can enjoy the benefits of molding and composite construction in select downwind sails. Molding provides a precisely shaped and smooth sail surface for optimized aerodynamics. Composite construction enables high-resolution spread filament tape distribution, placing exactly the right amount of material in exactly the right direction. HELIX DOWNWIND eliminates the parasitic weight and inevitable distortion of mylar film – a significant advantage in lightweight downwind sails.
Modern asymmetric reaching sails require low stretch, lightweight, and highly durable materials. NPL DOWNWIND sails meet these requirements because they’re cut from purpose-built materials produced on the North Cloth laminator. North Sails offers multiple constructions to optimally address the wide range of conditions encountered by reaching sails – for inshore, offshore, monohull, multihull, racing, or cruising.
