A good Sail Selection Chart is like an owner’s manual for your sail inventory. Every sail is going to have its sweet spot, and when racing offshore or in coastal races it is critical to know the True Wind Speed (TWS) and the True Wind Angle (TWA) of the next leg and have your crew prepared to have the next sail ready to hoist at the mark. Even more critical is making sure the right sail goes up when you round the mark saving costly sail changes.
North Sails has created hundreds of sail selection charts for its clients and has a larger knowledge base of which sails excel in specific conditions than any other sailmaker. |
