A SCOW  MAINSAIL
 Using the best technology currently used in the America’s Cup through North Sails Worldwide, our A Scow mains are the perfect blend of local Scow sailing design, and leading edge sailmaking technology.
North Sails’ exclusive 3DL® technology helps to maintain the fast shape from the drawing board, to production, to the water. This design very closely replicates the shape of the paneled mainsails yet offers huge weight savings, more strength, and incredible smoothness of a 3DL® sail.
It features a draft forward, straight leeched sail design. The top batten is not too full so the sail is very forgiving to trim and the leech fans open nicely. It is very easy to keep the leech telltales flowing with this sail. There is simply no other choice in A Scow racing.
Available in Aramid 600M and Carbon/Kevlar 860M.
3DL Mainsail includes:
- RBS full and tapered performance battens
- Option of carbon or fiberglass battens
- Kevlar spreader patches
- Enhanced vision windows
- Choice of red, blue, black or green numbers
- Class insignia
- Leech telltales
