Overview

Tagline

You can imagine the future or make it.
North Sails was founded in 1957 in San Diego, California, USA, by Lowell North as a sailmaker and sailing apparel brand. In addition to designing and manufacturing sails, it offers performance-oriented foul-weather apparel and lifestyle collections, operating as a family that includes North Sails Apparel and North Sails Action Sports. Its philosophy includes “Get the best people and commit yourself to making the best product,” and it also champions “Ocean Positive,” working to restore and protect the ocean.

Concept

Get the best people and commit yourself to making the best product. Be clear, creative, methodical, and competitive in spirit. Go beyond your wildest imagination.
