I would have a Nordac 3Di as my 135 Genoa and probably as a main if North didn't try to extort money from me..
Last october, I put in an order fro the 3Di Nordac 135% genoa complete with a 50% deposit. A month later, instead of an update on the progress of the order, my local loft got a ransom note email from North demanding another 20% in order to start building the sail. That wasn't another 20% down on the original deal. That was a 20% hike in price AFTER all was signed / sealed / delivered with a few grand of my money in advance. The wouldn't budge or negotiate on anything. I told them to stuff it and send my money back or else. Bastards. Instead, we called Shurr Sails in Pensacola and I got full suite with a tri-radial Spectra 135 genoa and Main for just a couple thou more than the overpriced 135 from North. http://www.schurr-sails.com/ The sails are awesome! I'm very happy with the purchase. We've only been out a few times / still learning how to optimize but they are definitely fast. Being made out of Spectra (Same stuff they use to make Dyneema) they should last / keep their shape for a long time. -Francois Rivard 1990 34+ "Take Five" Lake Lanier, GA
