North Sails
About Us
North Sails was founded in 1957 by Lowell North, an American sailor and Olympic Gold Medalist. North was an engineer who methodically focused on building sails that were faster than any competitor's. Year after year, Lowell North and his team pioneered new innovative technologies that conquered wind and water and won races.
Today Lowell North’s inspiration lives on in North Sails apparel as well, as it is designed and developed so that our customers can focus on what’s important for them – taking on the sea or just navigating modern life. We are masters of wind and water, innovators of technology and pioneers of design. Our sails make champions and our apparel is cut from the same cloth.
