For North Sails fans, this doesn’t look to be very significant to me other than a logo change.

For some time now, North Sails that makes sails for sailboats has not had anything to do with their windsurfing kiting gear, it was always mainly a branding thing…though perhaps they helped carry the load in terms of capital, cash flow, etc., I wouldn’t know. I think that, back in the heyday, North Sails were really North Sails, but I think they got out and just branded it back sometime in the 90s. A bit hazy on dates…

Interesting history, thanks Geoff.
