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.
