I worked there from 2000-2003 while 3Di was still a prototype! Jeff was a great person to work for.
my dad worked for north for many years. great team and sailmakers
Ahh, this brings me back. NS moved to Minden when I was in junior high, and I took a tour for a school project. I too wanted to be one of the guys floating around in the hang glider bags. A few years later, and it came true. Endless hours floating over Beneteau, J105, Farr 40, and America's Cup sails watching pass after pass of aramid and carbon tow be applied. Although I don't miss how sore my back would get after 9 hours in that bag, I do greatly miss being around the sails and the people. Jeff was a great boss, too.

The boss looks like he wants to knock the wind out of matey's sails.
