NorDac Cruising Products

North Sails offers two lines of woven polyester sails for the cruising sailor: NorDac 4800 and Premium NorDac. Made from North's own line of sailcloth, NorDac products offer the best value for cruising sailors.

The NorDac 4800 series of mains and headsails are designed to deliver performance, durability and quality at a surprisingly affordable price. Our 4800 series sails feature an extremely tight weave for improved stability and shape holding. 4800 series sails also feature a crosscut panel layout that aligns stronger fill-oriented threads in the cloth with aerodynamic loads in the sail.

The Premium NorDac line of sails have the soft feel and easy handling of traditional Dacron, but are woven more tightly than any other Dacron fabric in the world. As a result, durability is greatly improved and long term shape holding is increased. Premium Nordac sails are the choice of more serious cruising sailors than any other brand.
Our NorDac 4800 mainsails feature batten pockets, slide installation materials and corner and local reinforcements are all engineered to provide years of trouble free use. 4800 series mainsails are the best value around for cruising on the Columbia River and in our local lakes, and seasonal coastal cruising.
Our Premium NorDac mainsails feature batten pockets, corner and reef reinforcements and slide installation methods which are engineered to stand up to the most rugged sailing environments. Battens are tapered to provide smooth sail shaping and to minimize stress concentration areas. All battens used in Premium Nordac mainsails are made with virtually indestructible epoxy and glass laminates. Batten and slide hardware are selected to exceed the predicted working loads.
North 4800 series headsails are equipped with pre-stretched polyester leech and foot cords tied into multipart purchase systems that allow you to easily fine tune the sails edges. Sails ordered with the optional rope luff reefing system are built with special head and tack reinforcing that extends further into the body of the sail, allowing you to reef away up to 35% of the sail area without permanently distorting the fabric.
