HYPERGLIDE 6 _FOIL RACE
FLY FIRST CLASS.
Built on the race-winning HyperGlide legacy, the next generation “HyperGlide 6” is a significant technological advancement.
A new panel layout throughout the sleeve bridges downhaul tension with the entire sail body.
Increased luff curve and downhaul load increase skin tension and stability. The entry profile is refined throughout the sail body for low drag, adding to top-end speed. The leech area opens more lower-mid-body and connects with the updated profile to diminish in-flight drag. New reduced head geometry ties in with a sail outline designed to make you faster.
Offering electrical response to input, the HyperGlide 6 is a fast racing machine. Fly First Class!
/ New sleeve panel layout
/ Less drag
/ Smaller head
/ More reactive
SIZES: 5.0 / 6.0 / 7.0 / 8.0 / 9.0

TECHNOLOGY
LEADING EDGE
Tuned entry with a finer leading edge rotation for reduced drag.
OPTIMIZED AERODYNAMICS
By aligning the battens with the direction of airflow drag has been reduced. Clean panels with minimal seams further improve the aerodynamics.
DIRECT DRIVE TENSIONERS
The DDT 4 and DDT 5 tensioners directly connect the tube batten to the leech of the sail. This new design eliminates the heavy section of tube that is needed for the standard batten tensioner and being smaller, has superior aerodynamics.
OPTIONAL CLEW POSITIONS
POSITION 1:
This is the recommended setting and carries the adjustable outhaul fitting. It creates the perfect balance between a comfortable clew height and leech tension. This is the setting that Matteo Iachino will use for 99% of PWA slalom races.
POSITION 2:
This setting is lower and further in. It softens the feel of the sail and may be more comfortable for smaller, lighter riders looking for more control in higher winds.
PERFORMANCE MONOFILM CONSTRUCTION
Monofilm Construction to maximise performance and minimize weight. Construction mimics the exact sail prototypes that were tested by our racers.
BOOM HEIGHT REFERENCE
Boom height gauge for ease of reference.
HIGH VISIBILITY SLEEVE
Keep your opponents and surroundings in check while racing.
APEX SKIN TENSION
Capitalizing on the performance and proven durability of the Apex Pro mast, more luff curve has increased skin tension to lock the profile low and forward where it can be most easily controlled.
3&4 ROLLER TACK PULLEY
Roller tack pulleys are matched to the sails downhaul requirements and aligned for friction free downhauling and threading ease. Rig your sails with the Severne Hardware Division extensions for function and simplicity.
XL PERFORMANCE
Used on the HyperGLide 4, the XL Cam maximizes leading edge stability by allowing increased cam pressure to be distributed over a wider surface area.
Rotation is improved by the increased the leverage of the longer cam.
Mast wear is reduced due to less friction from the 8 rollers.
SPIDERFIBRE
SpiderFibre on the leech of the sail massively increases the perimeter strength and inhibits vertical stretch between the sail panels.
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.
WIDER SLEEVE
A bigger sleeve provides the stability needed to handle the added power and improve low-end, as well as, upwind performance.
All HyperGlide 6 sizes benefit from a new Xtended Range technology that allows for bigger gaps in your quiver.
Xtended Range was developed to increase wind range at both the lower AND higher ends: deeper, more powerful profiles are locked in place with added skin tension to enhance control and stability.

Can I use the HyperGlide 6 with the fin?
The HyperGlide 6 is specifically designed for foil slalom and thus not recommended to use as a “fin” windsurfing sail.
Which masts does the HyperGlide 6 rig on?
All HyperGlide 6 sizes rig on SDM masts.
How much downhaul should I use on the HyperGlide 6?
Follow the recommended settings and work your way from there.
What is the difference between Mach 6 and HyperGlide 6?
The Mach 6 is a slalom sail that is compatible with the foil. The HyperGlide 6 is a foil specific slalom sail.
WHERE CAN I BUY REPLACEMENT BATTEN TENSIONERS?
Repair material can be bought/ordered through official SEVERNE dealers/distributors.
Use the dealer locator to find your nearest dealer/distributor.
How do I rig the HyperGlide?
Follow this link for a guide on how to rig up your HyperGlide sail.
DO THE SMALLER SIZES COME WITH SDM AND RDM CAMBERS?
No, all HyperGlide sizes rig on SDM masts. Therefore, they come with SDM cambers.
WHERE CAN I BUY THE SEVERNE MONOFILM?
Repair material can be bought/ordered through official SEVERNE dealers/distributors.
Use the dealer locator to find your nearest dealer/distributor.
WHAT IS THE DIMENSION OF THE BATTENS USED IN THE HYPERGLIDE?
Your SEVERNE dealer/distributor has the necessary batten information or replacement battens.
Use the dealer locator to find your nearest dealer/distributor.
CAN I USE A NON-SEVERNE MAST IN MY SAILS?
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.
