Jim Daus and Sue Swisher 2007 Buccaneer 18 North American Champions Dave Spira #1 2006 NAs!   "As promised, I got my jib on Friday and it's gorgeous. I used it yesterday at Union Lake, NJ where we had our Second Annual Jersey in July Regatta. My wife and I love the mylar jib. Robin commented that the window was in a better location than our old one. I could feel the extra power and am convinced that it helped me take second place.

Ryan and Jennifer Flack 2005 Buccaneer North American Champs! NORTH BUCCANEER MAINSAIL The North Buccaneer Main is designed specifically to fit the relatively stiff mast of the Buccaneer. It is flatter down low to help keep the slot open between the exit of the main and entry of the jib. The North Buccaneer Main carries most of its power up high where it is most easy to depower in bigger breeze. The North Buccaneer Main is built from a high performance 3.8 oz coated fabric and includes a cunningham, shelf foot, numbers, tapered battens, insignia, leech telltales and sail bag.

GRAND PRIX MYLAR JIB he Buccaneer Mylar Jib is built with a relatively full entry, which aids in more forgiving and easier steering. The Buccaneer Mylar Jib is built out of 3.91 oz laminated sailcloth. Because of the relatively firm lighter weight Mylar fabric, the Grand Prix Mylar jib should excel in medium to light breezes but will still be relatively durable through the entire range of breeze. The Buccaneer Grand Prix Mylar Jib includes a window, telltales and bag. This jib can only be built for the wire luff. ALL AROUND MYLAR JIB The same fast design as the Grand Prix jib built from 4.3 Mylar for even greater durability. The Buccaneer Mylar Jib includes a window, telltales and bag. This jib can only be built for the wire luff. BUCCANEER DACRON JIB This is our general purpose Dacron Jib built out of 5.1 oz. Dacron. Because it is relatively full in the front, the jib is very easy and forgiving to steer. The North Buccaneer Dacron Jib can be built for either a wire luff jib (which we strongly suggest- contact us for info on how to update your boat for the wire luff) or for the older tube style luff. The AP Dacron Jib includes: window, telltales and bag.

FULL RADIAL SPINNAKER

The FR-1 Full Radial Spinnaker is a new full radial design. The full radial panel layout is extremely helpful in maintaining the durability necessary to withstand being pulled in and out of the launcher tube as well as being sails in the heaviest of breeze. Fitted with a take down patch ( or two if your boat setup requires it- please be sure to notify us), the FR-1 Full Radial Spinnaker is built out of Fleetwing Nylon fabric. It is a powerful spinnaker with relatively open upper leeches which help project the shoulders when sailing downwind.
