Healing wound peach? The color of the sail trim and board... Not feeling it, tbh.

Duotone and North have a long history with no idea when it comes making sails pleasing to my eyes

Mentioned to a fellow sailor on the weekend I thought some of the NP-JP combos look like giant bruises. Appears I'm not alone!

What's wrong with a bit of colour for once?

Nothing's wrong with colour, it's nice to have colour especially with the way this year is going, we all need cheering up. Is there really a need to write the manufacturer right up the mast. When there's already logo's everywhere else on the sail.

My Bombora Trifin faded to that same colour as those boards.
Bloody awful.
I think very few people want a pink sail and NP has learned that over and over.

So what are the best looking sails out there . ?
I like some of the printed fading color combos of NP from about 2012 onwards .
Purple to pink , yellow to green , orange to red.
Some are boring like the all red Severne.
North Warps have always been ugly especially around 2011 with that small panel with yellow and black stripes that should be on the steps inside a nuclear reactor.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I think my Evo9 has great colours, evoXII blue looks great and I like my Point 7 sail as well.

My NP's on the other hand do not look mint . Replaced panels , battens , batten end clips , camms and lots of sail tape .
Np are the most fragile sail I have used , especially cammed ones . Sadly beauty comes with with high cost and maintenance just like pretty w...n .
I used to be a ugly North guy , much stronger sails .

Yes Imax NP are chasing the Red sails to see who can see who can make the lightest sail in world that is knackered before the next years model is available
Buying any used windsurf sail is a ticket to disappointment regardless of how many times it got wet

Evo 9's and 12's are the best looking sails in my opinion. My NP sails can take a lot more or a battering than my Severne sails thats for sure.
