NOA
The Noa is the original 7-batten, no-cam slalom sail, drawing its DNA directly from Naish’s decades of slalom and racing experience. Ideal for intermediate-to-advanced sailors seeking great speed and acceleration, the Noa is easy to rig and offers great handling in jibes—when compared to a cam sail. The clean, aerodynamic shape and deep, powerful draft deliver a crisp, balanced feel and straight-line speed that rivals modern cam sails.
Key Features:
- Inset Clew = Low swing weight + control
- Super Stable Shape = Predictable, smooth power
- Twin X-166 Luff Panels = Solid, locked-in power
- 7 Battens/No Cams = Exceptional speed + easy handling
- Low Aspect Ratio = Great handling + wide range

Construction
Features
Standard Clew Construction The radial clew is the strongest and lightest design in the industry. A custom titanium ring is connected directly to radial Kevlar load strips via high-tenacity nylon webbing. The Warp Kevlar taffeta leech and foot tapes carry the perimeter loads. |
Tack Fairing Durable molded EVA tack fairing that folds back for easy rigging and protects the sailors feet, mast and board. It features a grommet for the uphaul line and a mesh pocket with a Velcro closure for storing the downhaul line. |
6-Ply Batten Pocket Construction Striking a critical balance between light weight and durability, the batten pocket balances the power loads and has scuff protection on both sides of the sail. |
Roller Tack Pulley A downhaul pulley that integrates a lightweight die-cast stainless steel housing and low-friction Nylatron GSM pulleys. It provides both standard 6:1 and 4:1 rigging options. This system makes downhauling very easy and reduces wear and tear on the downhaul line. |
Loop and Go The unique geometry of our pulley offers both traditional 6:1 AND 4:1 loop-and-go rigging. |
Downhaul Pocket Secure mesh pocket with Velcro for storing the downhaul line. |
Boom Opening + Position Marker The boom opening has a long sleeve cutout for easy rigging, and features position markers that enable perfect boom positioning every time you rig. |
Scuff Protection Naish sails include comprehensive lightweight PVC scuff protection for both sides of the sail. |
Roll up bungee Simple and convenient one-step fastening system for quick sail stowage |
