Tis all happening here in North Sails Ireland!
We had our first outing on the new Cape 31 "BLAST" here in Dublin Bay.
This is the second Cape 31 in Ireland to be kitted out in a full North Sails inventory.
"BLAST " flew her North Sails NPL Xi upwind training sails and her North Sails NPC Norlon 75 training kite complete with "Blast" logo applied in ink by our North Sails graphics division.
Fresh out of the bag, the flawless geometry and designs were absolutely perfect, which is a credit as always to our colleagues in our Design group, Dave Lenz and Cameron McCormick and our tireless colleagues in our manufacturing group.

On our first "turn" downwind, we hit 11 knots boatspeed in only about 11 knots true windspeed.
Keep an eye out for this North Sails-powered rocketship BLASTing around Dublin Bay over the next few weeks.
