BLADE _CONTROL ORIENTED WAVE More power. All the control. The Blade delivers 5-batten stability without the traditional weight compromise. Forward driving profiles and reduced backhand pressure mean slight wind variations go unnoticed. The sail does the work; you focus on sailing. The 026 Blade has been rebuilt from the ground up to increase power and integrate the latest development concepts: XR Xtended Range: 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. Fat Head: Originally developed for the S-1, the increased head roach opens further under load, improving high-end control and wind range. Smaller sizes have relatively fatter heads whilst bigger sizes balance the head size for better aero efficiency. DirectConnect: A system of directly connecting the load points of the sail to any hardware – masts, battens and boom. Zero lag means the sail reacts instantly to rider input. CarbonFusion Trickle-Down: The BladePro construction is trickling down into the Blade, with welded foot panels and carbon load transfer strips in the head and tack. Gradient Panel Technology: Overlapped corners logically reduce weight, increase strength and control stretch. The 026 Blade sets a new standard by integrating these design concepts with industry-leading materials, including VX2, SpiderFibre, eM4 as well as the new D6 Dacron in the luff. The Blade is the control-oriented wave sail for any conditions. / 5 BATTEN DESIGN / CARBONFUSION TECHNOLOGY – WELDED FOOT PANELS / 100% X-PLY / DIRECTCONNECT CARBON FIBRE LOAD STRIPS / D6 DACRON LUFF PANEL FOR SMOOTH POWER DELIVERY / DEVELOPED WITH SCOTT MCKERCHER AND PHILIP KOSTER BLADE TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW SEVERNE continues to lead the way in materials and product design. BladePro and S-1 Pro are built entirely in welded CarbonFusion from sleeve to leech – no stitching means no failure points and significant weight reduction. This technology now extends to the standard Blade and S-1 models through welded foot panels and carbon load transfer strips. Here’s the full rundown of the tech that makes up the Blade. 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. 025 Blade Luff Boom Battens Weight Head Mast Enigma Boom Boom Extension 3.1 320 6（ADJ-HEAD 6) 140 5 2.32 ADJ RDM BLUE 340 RDM Enigma 140 Cyclops 24 3.4 340 144 5 2.3 FIXED RDM BLUE 340 RDM Enigma 140 Cyclops 24 3.7 353 150 5 2.42 FIXED RDM BLUE 340 RDM Enigma 140 Cyclops 24 4.0 370 154 5 2.52 FIXED RDM BLUE 340 RDM Enigma 140 Cyclops 36 4.2 375 158 5 2.62 FIXED RDM RED 370 RDM Enigma 140 Cyclops 24 4.5 399 160 5 2.74 FIXED RDM RED 370 RDM Enigma 140 Cyclops 36 4.7 403 162 5 2.79 FIXED RDM RED 370 RDM Enigma 150 Cyclops 36 5.0 413 164 5 2.85 FIXED RDM RED 400 RDM Enigma 150 Cyclops 24 5.3 422 169 5 2.97 FIXED RDM RED 400 RDM Enigma 150 Cyclops 24 5.7 432 173 5 3.1 FIXED RDM RED 400 RDM Enigma 150 Cyclops 36 6.2 456 177 5 3.25 FIXED RDM RED 430 RDM Enigma 150 Cyclops 36 6.7 462 185 5 3.37 FIXED RDM RED 430 RDM Enigma 150 Cyclops 36
