North Sails was founded in 1957 by Lowell North, an American sailor and Olympic Gold Medalist. North was an engineer as well, one 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. Explored the Ocean. 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 harness nature’s power for exploration; we innovate taking advantages from the latest ideas, and we strive to conserve the Ocean for the future generations.
