E-type is cam-free sail designed for race and freeride. It is extremely easy and fast to rig. Provides early planning without pumping, great acceleration and decent top speed. It combines capabilities of radical race sail like Warp combined with co cam sail’s handling and manoeuvrability. Recommended for intermediate riders who want to feel the race sail with no cam construction. Jibing and aggressive manoeuvres are easy and afterwards it will gain previous speed within blink of an eye. Thanks to medium cutaway clew you don’t need to use long boom for this sail. Progressive batten configuration is designed to provide optimal performance. Batten amount depends on sail’s size. Two masts can cover the entire size range. Smaller sails are more handling and manoeuvrability oriented and bigger sizes are designed to give you direct race sail feel and performance. Deep profile of the E-type provides plenty of planning power and great top speed.

Technologies

• VTS Visual Trim System
  Even newcomers can immediately trim the sail 100% correctly. Simply downhaul the sail until the boarderline of the loose leech reaches the “min dot“ or “max dot“ (depending on the wind speed). That’s it! The exclusive VTS acts like a turbocharger, ensuring maximum performance and an extended range of use. Trimming has never been faster and more accurate!
• Double Seam Technology
  NorthSails stands for unsurpassed quality that guarantees a longer life for our sails. The triple zig-zag seams significantly contribute to this. And they don‘t come, as usual, in a single, but in a double version! They cover all exposed crash areas that would otherwise be damaged. The result is higher resistance to tear and a reduction of stretch by up to 50% as a result of the second seam, also benefiting profile stability and performance. Only the DOUBLE.SEAM.TECHNOLOGY by NorthSails can deliver this!
• HTS Harnessline Trim System
  Forget the time-consuming search for the ideal harness line position, the numb forearms, and the endless fiddling around! The patented print on the sail shows exactly where the center of the harness line has to be. Just position the two ends symmetrically at the left and right of the print, that‘s all.
• PROGRESSIVE CUTAWAY CLEW incl. CROSS BATTEN
  The CROSS.BATTEN concept is the intelligent solution that shifts the sail’s center of effort downwards and supports the larger surface area in the boom zone. It also allows for an early planing profile without losing handling. Ideal in combination with the PROGRESSIVE.CUTAWAY.CLEW which has an extremely positive influence on the sails agility, feel and allows a shorter, stiffer boom. Both features individually vary depending on the type and size of the sail.
  That is, the more pronounced the CUTAWAY thus the longer the CROSS.BATTEN, the more flex and comfort, especially when overpowered ("excess" sail area "flexes away"). The more performance-oriented the sail, the less pronounced the CUTAWAY.CLEW and the CROSS.BATTEN are to ensure a more direct acceleration.
• Set & Go VarioTop
  From the first rigging now the length of the vario top is set correctly. Easy to read length indicators show the perfect setting in relation to the used mast length which eliminates any testing and readjustment!
• INDIVIDUAL BOOM LENGTH INDICATION
  Since the boom is positioned at different points on the mast depending on the rider‘s height, the ideal boom length varies due to the different angles. To make it easier to find the right length fast, the individual recommendations are written directly on the luff panel at boom level.
