Stus-List North Nordac Sails
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 ___ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.

Re: Stus-List North Nordac Sails
We bought a #2 (135%) made from the new 3Di Nordac material last fall. We like it so much that we have not flown the #1 this year. Great sail shape and it points very well. I would highly recommend it so far. Jim ReinardyC 30-2 “Firewater”Milwaukee, WI Get Outlook for iOS On Tue, Jul 3, 2018 at 12:18 PM -0500, "Matthew L.

The shape is generally good, except for two issues I’ve noted: 1) there is an area near one of the upper battens that is messing up the shape that I need to investigate; and 2) when the luff backwinds in heavier air (the so-called “speed bubble”), it is really pronounced and looks slow. Also, the material weight is much greater than I expected – the sail is bullet proof and doesn’t flake well. I haven’t decided yet if I’m happy with it. Also, if you don’t want blue sail numbers, you need to tell them. I sent my old main with black numbers to the loft (for transferring Tide sailtrack fittings) and assumed the new sail would have the same color numbers – wrong.

Re: Stus-List North Nordac Sails
I had a Nordac performance main on my 25 mk1 with full battens. Combined with a Norlam 150 headsail we were competitive with larger boats under 15kts. Was still holding its shape after several years, but used an older main for cruising.

Re: Stus-List North Nordac Sails
I purchased one this year as a mainsail and have had it up only about a half dozen times. The shape is generally good, except for two issues I’ve noted: 1) there is an area near one of the upper battens that is messing up the shape that I need to investigate; and 2) when the luff backwinds in heavier air (the so-called “speed bubble”), it is really pronounced and looks slow.

Re: Stus-List North Nordac Sails
I have been racing with a 105% Nordac genoa for ten years, and have had no problems with it. Recently I noticed a little wear at one spot the luff tape, probably due to a rough spot on the furler. I also have a 135% furling genoa which I use for cruising. It's four years old, and I haven't used t very much. If I needed new sails, I wouldn't hesitate to go with Nordac, or whatever North is recommending these days.
