Apr 03, 2018 -  Glenn Ashby has won nine A Class World Championships and is considered the benchmark sailor for the class. He is also a sailmaker by trade and used his extraordinary technical skills, along with ETNZ designers, to mastermind the trimming of the Team New Zealand wing on the winning America's Cup catamaran in the 35th edition of the event.

Glenn has continued his association with North Sails to design and release a new Decksweeper sail for the A Class.

This sail will suit a big range of crew weights and wind conditions.Standard Features
