In this video I am giving you guys an in-depth breakdown of how I rig and fine-tune my Severne slalom race sails to get the best performance, speed and control out of them.
I will be covering the following points:
How to rig the sail and get the cambers on effortlessly
A summary of all the Severne masts and for which sails I used them: ApexPro Redline SDM masts, Gorilla masts, Blue line masts, RDM Redline masts.
Ideal boom height
Downhaul tension
Outhaul tension
Harness line placement and length
Using the Adjustable Outhaul
Batten tension
Tack strap tension
Seat Harness vs waist harness
The best board, sail, fin combinations for various wind strengths
Severne sail components and design
The two biggest mistakes when rigging for slalom sailing
As a team-rider for Severne I have been through 4 generations of their race sails: Reflex 7, Reflex 8, Mach 1 and Mach 2. Prior to becoming a Team-rider I have sailed my way through all the Severne Sails: The Gators, NCX sails, Turbot, Code Red sails before switching over to the high-end Severne race sails. In this process I have learnt how the sails operate and how to get the best performance and enjoyment out of them. I am happy to share with you my experiences and tips.
