the lower part of the sail looks like its still under construction what are they thinking? c'mon just keep it simple, the 2010's and before looked great.
i must admit, that we need sails that can be seen on the water. clear monofilm does nothing to promote the sport.
Jury is out on how pretty they are, but performance won't be an issue.
I have been lucky enough to have some pre-production Formula sails here in Australia and they actually look better up front and personal.
That danger tape looks very 80's. Will you be wearing some flouro gear and some big sunnies to suit Brett
Yes, they are both 12's. Amazing how different they look huh. The North looks more like a 11m, but it is not. From memory Rick was 1st to the top mark in this race?
Actually I think that was Uncle Bruce in that photo? Luff length on the TR6 12 is 583 - what is it for the North?
I think you will find that James is alot closer to the camera.
Giving the illusion of the Maui Sail looking bigger. North Warp 12m luff 565.
See, now the North Sails 11m looks bigger than the Maui Sails 11m and NP 12m and 10.7m.
Thanks for the lesson on perspective Ric
Nevertheless the North appears to have a lower aspect / greater chord length than the Maui (and others).
The looked slippery - pity I dont own one

Hi Brett, i wish i were in AUS!! On those two pics where the pac is racing..which pic is earlier than the other one..? who is leading??? looks like in the smaller one the north is leading but on the bigger one the maui sail is leading..? which one goes first in the sequence..
