HELIX CODE 75

The Helix Code 75 is a free-flying sail, positioned between a genoa and an asymmetric spinnaker. Optimized for a 55-degree apparent wind angle, the Helix Code 75 is tacked off the bowsprit and is typically used for sailing close to the wind in light air. This sail can be designed to comply with IRC rules as a spinnaker or as a flying sail.

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.
For the first time, sailors can enjoy the benefits of 3D molding and composite construction in select downwind sails. 3D 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. 3Di DOWNWIND eliminates the parasitic weight and inevitable distortion of mylar film – a significant advantage in lightweight downwind sails.
