Helix – Load Sharing Technology – Reengineering Sailing
Helix Load Sharing Technology is specialized sail structure and shaping engineered and designed to redistribute rig loads from a cable or headstay into the sail membrane.
Self Supporting Sails
Reduced rig loads eliminate the need for tight, heavy cables. Helix sails fly with support from the sail structure not a cable - making them lighter, easier to handle and store.
Forward Projecting Sails
Projected entry angle enables a wider wind range. Helix sails fly forward and to windward compared to traditional Code sails that hang to leeward from a heavy cable.
Everyone's (Hard) At It
Seahorse Magazine has given us special permission to republish the Tech Brief featuring our new Helix sails. North President Ken Read and Director of Design and Engineering JB Braun, teamed up to provide their insight and explanation on what’s hype, what’s fact, and why we feel the North Sails approach with Helix sails is a massive step forward for customers.
