Concept & Introduction: Take a look inside North Sails’ brand new UK sail loft. The loft is based in Gosport, on the southern coast of the UK, and houses a number of global departments under one roof. These include Superyacht finishing and sail production for One Design and North Sails 3Di. As NorthSails’ European flagship facility, the loft enables North Sails to remain at the forefront of sail technology, innovation and manufacturing. Gosport is the first loft in the world to specialise in superyacht sails, and it’s gigantic raised floor – measuring 1,950m2 – is the largest ever built. A team of 9 designers and 82 staff members are aided by state-of-the-art technology and equipment, ensuring sails are delivered quickly, and safely – with no compromises in quality. The space is split into two manufacturing bays, and the main floor is designed to cater to superyacht sail finishing. Measuring 101x30m, the space can accommodate two J-Class headsails and a mainsail laid out simultaneously. The secondary bay is dedicated to One Design sailmaking and Certified Service sail care. North Sails’ Gosport loft will be opened by North Sails Group President, Ken Read, as well as European COO John Welch, and Peter Dubens – Managing Partner of Oakley Capital and Chairman of North Technology Group.

We’re heading out at night to get to our next destination by morning. There is something magical about sailing at night. The darkness envelops everything around you, and the only light comes from the stars above and the moon reflecting off the water. The gentle sound of the waves lapping against the boat and the sails periodically luffing create a peaceful and serene atmosphere. As you sail into the unknown, there is a sense of adventure and excitement. You never know what lies ahead, but you trust in your skills and the boat to guide you safely through the darkness. It's a feeling of freedom and liberation, leaving behind the worries and stresses of everyday life and embracing the mystery of the open sea. The beauty of sailing at night is not just in the scenery but in the experience. It's a time for introspection and reflection, a chance to disconnect from technology and connect with nature. The darkness allows you to see the stars in all their glory, a reminder of the vastness of the universe and our place within it. Facing the unknown can be scary, but it can also be exhilarating. Sailing at night is a perfect metaphor for life itself, full of unexpected twists and turns. It teaches us to trust in ourselves and our abilities, to face our fears head-on and overcome them. It's a reminder that even in the darkness, there is beauty and wonder to be found. Sailing at night is a truly unique experience that allows us to disconnect from the world and connect with nature.
