You and I will be about the only guys in the Bay with the "N" logo on
our sails. I have a 5.7 and 5.2 Northwave Race, and I love both
sails. Northwave makes an incredible product. If you can waterstart
regularly, you are ready for a top-line race sail. But BE SURE to buy
the right mast! Without the right mast, you are buying expensive
wallpaper (it sure won't be good as much else...certainly not as a
sail). For a Northwave, you need a DynaFiber mast.
