Additional finishing is applied to further seal and stabilize the cloth. North's NorLon (Nylon) fabrics deliver excellent tear strength, specific porosity and superior color acceptance for boats ranging from club racers to SuperYachts.

North SnufferPlus

SnufferPlusâ„¢ is an ingenious system that makes setting and dousing your Gennaker easier and safer (especially for shorthanded crews) by gathering and encasing it in a Nylon tube. SnufferPlus features a special tapered tube that ensures smooth operation and molded funnels (poly, fiberglass or carbon, depending on boat size) designed to minimize twists and wraps while gathering the sail. With SnufferPlus, you deal with an easy-to-handle tube rather than arms full of sailcloth blowing over the rail. A convenient control line quickly pulls the SnufferPlus up or down.
