This cool video shows a time-lapse of how Ben Severne is building a Severe windsurfing sail. All the phases are shown. From getting all the panels ready, to putting the battens in the pockets, sawing on the mast luff and finally rigging the sail. Enjoy!

Naish Sails decided to update their website. It is available to you in four languages: English, French, German or Spanish. All the 2010 Naish Sails are on the website.

Severne Sails also created a new website. The site is very good looking and you can find all the new 2010 sails on it. Also the new Severne Reflex which is developed with Björn Dunkerbeck.

Severne Sails new sail sponsor Karin Jaggi

Maarten — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 20:00:04 +0000

Severne Sails will become the new sail sponsor for Karin Jaggi! A few weeks ago people were speculating if Severne Sails or Maui Sails would become the new sail sponsor for Jaggi. Severne Sails has a really strong racing team because of this transfer. Bjorn Dunkerbeck is also on the team and doesn’t need an introduction. The accomplishments of Karin Jaggi are also impressive. Check this list with results:

13 x PWA Windsurfing World Champion
10 x IFCA / Windsurfing World Champion
2 x ISA Speed World Champion

MauiSails new sponsor Karin Jaggi?

Maarten — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 22:22:44 +0000

Word is going around that Karin Jaggi is looking for a new sponsor. MauiSails and Severne Sails are two brands mentioned as possible sponsor. Barry Spanier confirmed on the MauiSails forum that they are not planning to hire Karin Jaggi and it are definite rumors. Who will sponsor Karin Jaggi is uncertain, but she will leave North Sails behind.

Gonzo (11h on the PWA Slalom 2008) probably will be on the MauiSails team.

Severne Sails new sponsor Bjorn Dunkerbeck!

Maarten — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 18:31:29 +0000

Again, very interesting news around North Sails and pro windsurfer Bjorn Dunkerbeck. He will leave North Sails for Severne Sails! Actually, it is not a big surprise since Starboard en Severne Sails are working close together.

This switch is in my opinion a remarkable choice. Before he was windsurfing with Neilpryde and North Sails. Both these brands are the biggest in the industry and thus have a lot of resources and knowledge in-house. I don’t expect Severne Sails to be on the same level as those two brands. Maybe it is a bit prejudice… for example, there are hardly any locals windsurfing with Severne Sails at my spot.

On the other hand, it’s great for Severne Sails. Bjorn is a personal brand like no other windsurfer and that will certainly have a positive influence on the sales. I also hope he will perform very well with these sails and can show everybody there are more sail brands than the few dominating the market.

Dunkerbeck switched from T1 Boards to Starboard earlier this year. We will see how he will perform with his new windsurfing equipment the upcoming season.
