REFINED PERFORMANCE.

This new season sees big leaps forward in construction. All SEVERNE wave sails now boast the Load-Path experience gained during the HyperSpider project and later exploration of CarbonFusion technology. The outcome is an intelligent sailcloth usage that not only controls the stretch but harnesses elasticity to make sails that react and respond like a coiled spring. Sails that feel alive.

By integrating the reinforcing layers into the panel layout, loads transfer out of the corners and throughout the body of the sail. The tapered overlapping seams double and then triple material thickness as they reach the tack, clew, and head. We call this GRADIENT PANEL TECHNOLOGY.

Another year of CarbonFusion manufacturing experience to improve production efficiency has increased capacity. We are now able to use this construction for the Blade Pro

Adding GRADIENT PANEL TECHNOLOGY into the mix means both the Blade and Blade Pro can use the same production patterns. Same for the S-1 and S-1 Pro.

Differentiation between the two constructions is now easier. The carbon construction is lighter, more stable, and has a wider wind range. The standard construction is about 150g heavier depending on size and is lower cost. Both constructions are now offered in ALL sizes.

With the new GRADIENT PANEL TECHNOLOGY improvements are obvious. Lighter weight and better stability.

Using the new GRADIENT PANEL TECHNOLOGY. Corners have overlapped panels which reduces the amount of patching. At the same time these overlapped areas extend into the body of the sail so it transitions the load much better, will be less stretch over time. It’s a more stable way of building sails.

The GRADIENT PANEL TECHNOLOGY logically reduces weight, increases strength and controls stretch. Overall weight is reduced but the more significant improvement is the feel – quicker reacting and lighter feel.

Rather than a single curved luff panel, we use separate panels – split luff – that radiate out of the head and tack corners. This perfectly aligns the sail material with the direction of load.

Previously the curved panel would have bias stretch in all the wrong places. Direct transmission of power. Increased longevity.
