MAXIMUM MANEUVERABILITY. MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE
The S-1 is a high performance 4 batten wave sail. Lightweight, flexible, and instantly responsive; a spring loaded and ready to release on demand.
The 027 is a complete redesign across all sizes. DirectConnect now extends to an internal luff panel connecting tack and head: a CarbonFusion strip from the pulley to the top of the sail, carrying the primary loads through the structure. That frees the sail body to inflate faster and react quicker, with stretch under control. It sits more neutral as a result; less locked, more alive in the hands. Swing weight has been reduced further through optimised head and clew construction. Wind range is up across the board. A split sleeve makes mast insertion faster and rigging simpler.
One of the first things riders notice about the S-1 is that it feels light. It is light. But the balance and short boom geometry make it feel lighter still. D6 Dacron adds elasticity to the forward sections; VX2 stabilises the body panels. The result is a consistent power position between the hands; enough back-hand pressure to perform, never enough to fatigue.
The 027 S-1 is a manoeuvre-oriented wave sail to excel in waves from knee high to as big as they go.

S-1 TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW
SEVERNE continues to lead the way in windsurf sail construction. CarbonFusion welded foot panels and carbon load transfer strips, once reserved for the PRO models, are now standard on the S-1.
For 027 the S-1 is a complete redesign across all sizes. DirectConnect extends to an internal luff panel from the pulley to the head, and a split sleeve simplifies rigging. Optimised head and clew construction cuts swing weight further. Here’s the full rundown of the tech that makes up the 027 S-1.
GRADIENT PANEL TECHNOLOGY
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.
