The sea is my land by North Sails

This is a true story.

It doesn’t begin with “once upon a time” because the story still goes on.

In 1958 Lowell North was a twenty-seven-year-old engineer with a soft spot for sails who set up his own sail loft.

North Sails.

Lowell was a champion. He won two Olympic medals with his sail, a gold in the star class, a bronze in the dragon class as well as five world championships in the star class.

But.

Lowell North was also an engineer. For him construction of a sail was not only an art form, but also and above all a science. That’s why he gathered together a team of sailors and technicians with a basic common denominator: passion for sailing.

That’s how sailmakers are born.

Or, as North calls them, tigers.
