North LW 6.0 m² - Vela Light Wind

North LW 6.0 m² — sail/wing from North's Light Wind line, in size 6.0 m². "LW" identifies models specifically designed to maximize light wind: generous surface area, deep profile, and good power-up to start and plane when all-round models fall short. It's the typical product you buy to not sit on shore on light wind days.

Technology. Light Wind configuration (loaded profile, greater projected area to catch weak wind). North construction with reinforced fabric in high-tension areas. We don't publish detailed specs here (year model, battens count, exact weight) without verifying them with you — stop by the shop or message us on WhatsApp and we'll confirm exactly which unit we have in stock, year, condition, and compatibilities.

In the water. Designed for days of 8-15 knots when any other sail/wing struggles to work. In Can Pastilla (Playa de Palma) or Alcúdia Bay it's exactly the situation on many summer mornings: the land breeze takes time to set in and an LW kit lets you sail 2-3 hours before everyone else. Intermediate level rider and up (handling large surface area takes some skill).

LW 6.0 vs all-round kit — how we see it at El Niño Mallorca. A Light Wind sail/wing doesn't replace your daily kit; it complements it. If you only sail in good wind (18+ knots), you don't need it. If it frustrates you to see the spot empty waiting for wind, an LW doubles your useful sailing days per year. Before closing the purchase, message us: we confirm with you if it's the right size and discipline for your weight and level, and we review this specific unit's condition.
