The new Severne S1 2023 born on the same bases and designs of the older sister S1 PRO, using different materials, but no less efficient and technological. In terms of design nothing changes, In terms of weight, the scale only records 150 gr. more than the PRO version. Also in the case of the S1 the exclusivity is used “Gradient Panel Technogy”, which allows an overall weight reduction, increases strength and reduces fiber elongation. Beyond the overall weight reduction, What is striking about this sail is the increase in its reactivity, as well as the general feeling of lightness.
Instead of a single input panel, the S1 uses separate panels that open from the pen and boss. This allows you to achieve perfect alignment with the lines of force, eliminating negative elongations. The result is a very well balanced sail, equipped with direct power transmission, also favoring a better longevity of the same. The length of the boom has been shortened starting from the 4,8 up, favoring a lower presence of the rear hand, especially as the wind increases. The thrust center has been moved slightly higher, Promoting faster acceleration, especially with light winds.
The use of VX2 and eM3 materials has given the S1 decisive advantages in terms of overall lightness and control, Setting new benchmarks in the field of wave sails. The sail is offered in a wide range of sizes, from the small 3,0, until you get to the 5,6, and in two very attractive liveries, red and black.
