10-point Sail Inspection
Every sail that is serviced by North undergoes a thorough inspection designed to identify maintenance issues early, so they do not become major problems later on. Annual inspection of your inventory will aid significantly in extending sail life and maintaining peak performance. Your sails should be inspected and washed at least once per season to ensure maximum sail life.
Roller Furling UV Cover
Most sailors know how ultra-violet rays of the sun can damage sails. If you leave your Genoa furled on the forestay between use, a UV foot/leech cover is a must! When furled, the UV cover provides an effective sun screen for your sail and dramatically extends its life expectancy. If your UV cover is damaged, get it fixed!
