Come down to The ZU this Tuesday from 7 pm to catch up with Ben Severne and crew. Join in for some beers while learning about the latest in sail design and get to watch some unique footage of the Severne team.
Ben will be explaining the design features of the main sails in the Severne range including Bjorn Dunkerbecks PWA winning Reflex other sails in their range, etc.

What a great turn up last night. The night started off with some very high tech well controled remote controlled helicopters.
After some nibbles and drinks, Ben discussed some of the new techniques and materials Severne has been working with and discussed about some of their sails in their range. There was some very good rigging tips from the pros to. One that may have surprise us all, was the pros now reduce down haul when they are starting to get over powered. This technique increases down force on the board.
The ZU will most likely have some photos and maybe videos up on their Facebook page some time soon.
