CONVERT _VALUE FREERIDE
The next generation Convert delivers price competitive performance. The latest SEVERNE sail shaping technology, as well as, graded monofilm construction goes into this sail. The Convert is ideal for blasting, suited for the recreational or intermediate windsurfer.
Featured technologies such as “gradient monofilm construction” already have a proven track record. High performance freeride sails, as well as, racing sails already feature this.

TECHNOLOGY
SEAMLESS HEAD PANEL
This high abrasion area is made from only 1 panel and does not carry any exposed seams, preventing any potential weak point in this area. As a result, seam creep and seam-related failure have been eliminated.
MONOFILM CONSTRUCTION
MAXIMUM STABILITY & PERFORMANCE
BOOM HEIGHT REFERENCE
Boom height gauge for ease of reference.
SEAMLESS FOOT CONSTRUCTION
A single panel in the foot area with hidden load patches and zero exposed stitching eliminates seam abrasion and seam creep in this high load area. Maximum durability and minimum weight.
GRADIENT PANEL TECHNOLOGY
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.
FAQ
Can I use a RDM mast instead of a SDM mast?
Yes, the Convert rigs on both SDM and RDM masts.
Can I use a bigger mast than recommended? What will happen if I do that?
We would not advise using a bigger than recommended mast.
The latest generation convert features a fixed top, meaning you won’t be able to adjust the head of the sail.
Performance wise, a longer mast will make the sail stiffer and less forgiving.
WHAT TYPE OF MAST IS BEST FOR THE CONVERT?
Can I use a non-severne mast?
All of our development, testing, rigging, and tuning are done using SEVERNE masts.
We strongly recommend our customers use SEVERNE masts.
Our masts are designed with a specific SEVERNE bend curve that remains one of the pillars of our rigs.
We don’t test the performance or bend curves of other masts, and can thus not guarantee which performance or durability you can get out of your sail using a different brand mast. We describe the curve of our mast as a SEVERNE curve.
The constant, hardtop, or flex top curves that generic mast brands describe base themselves on measurements on 3 points.
We measure our masts at 7 points minimum.
