2011 North X_Type

The North X_Type new windsurfing sail is for freeride and freerace use.

The ultimate No Cam performance sail has again increased it's performance. The secret is the reduced aspect ratio which was acquired from the winning machine that was the Warp F2010 and the fairly high foil tension which guarantees maximum performance without camber induced support.

Compared to the previous model the new X_Type has improved planing power as the slightly wider chord supports the acceleration. All of this without increasing the boom length was possible as the more pronounced CROSS.BATTEN avoids this. The added versatility combines spontaneous performance delivery with top speed and offers all the handling and rigging advantages of a No Cam sail. For you this means enormous thrust and the ease of use of a No Cam sail for enjoying maneuvers.

The X_Type draws its potential from HYPER.LEECH II and TT.TOP II, which ensure a more active twist. In addition it features a slightly lower profile for more low down power and a pressure point further towards the front. This facilitates rig control and steering, significantly contributing to what is an unusually high stability pressure point for a No Cam sail. Thanks to the PROGRESSIVE.BATTEN.CONFIGURATION all X_Type models feature batten numbers relevant to size and application. With Kai Hopf managing to perfect the 6.0 and 5.4 sizes with just 6 battens. This helps reduce weight and improves handling and what’s more all X_Type sizes can be used with a single 460 mast - one mast fits all.

NORTH SAILS INTEGRATED.RIG.TECHNOLOGY – The perfect rig
For over a decade North Sails has been one of the few brands who develop all windsurfing rig components for use exclusively by North Sails. This guarantees that all North Sails components are state of the art and work better when used in conjunction with a North Sail to generate the absolute maximum performance.

NORTH SAILS BEST.FIT.SYSTEM – Perfectly matching components
One thing is sure all North Sails components fit almost all sails of different brands and improve their performance. In addition there are ideal combinations that can get the maximum out of every rig. Components within the Red, Silver, Gold and Platinum series make great combinations and were designed to perfectly match each other. In terms of performance and price the following rule of thumb applies: the more money you spend, the lighter, more dynamic and powerful your rig will be. This means that you determine how much performance you need or how much you are willing to invest in your performance.
