Can someone ID the sail pictured ? I think its early 2000 model, pictured sail is a 6.2 (6 battens)
I have just purchased a sail that looks almost identical but has no other factory markings than the North logo, someone has written a luff measurement of 512 on it, I think its 8,8+ in size has 4 cams and seven battens.

North Prisma was the full on race sail, then they released the iq (I think )

The sail in the picture could also be a Spectro, which I seem to remember was the 2/3 cam free race sail.

I'm not sure about the age though, I think that sail in the picture is around 1998? Although my memory of the period was somewhat hazy.

That's more like it, cant find any definite specks on them though, don't suppose anyone has an old manual laying around. The main thing I want to find out is the size and the only measurement I have to go by is a hand written luff setting.

If it is all handwritten it will be a prototype and could be any size. Just guesstimate it.....

I think the North Spectro was the detuned race sail at the time.
