Take a look inside North Sails’ brand new UK sail loft, which opened its doors today. The loft is based in Gosport, on the southern coast of the UK, and will house a number of global departments under one roof. These include Superyacht finishing andsail production for One Design and North Sails 3Di. Set to be North Sails’ European flagship facility, the loft will enable North Sails to remain at the forefront of sail technology, innovation and manufacturing. Gosport is the first loft in the world to specialize 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.

Want to meet a Peacock Flounder? 👉🏽 Join us for a dive. ℹ️ Who’s that 1 Clever Fish Who’ll Never See You Below? While juveniles begin life with eyes on both sides of their body, the Peacock Flounder’s right eye migrates towards the left as they mature, leaving both eyes on one side looking to the sky. Pretty amazing for a fish that camouflages seamlessly with his perch, which he can not see below him, yet if blind or if his eye is damaged he will struggle to camouflage with his surround.
