Just giving you all a heads up that Ben Severne will be in store on 29th November at 6.00pm

What he will be covering

Intro the brand , history , design philosophy

And then talk specifically about some sail designs – fielding questions as we go.

So come and have a beer and pizza with Australia's leading sail designer

Would be good to come along to this, but all going to plan I will still be on the beach at Gerroa making my way home from Merimbula.

Get along guys, I have meet Ben a couple of times over the years at different events and I can say he is truly worth having a chat with.

I'm there! I heard that he's a pretty **** hot sailor as well, will he be out sailing if its windy?

Had the 5.6m S1 out on the weekend, for a sail that isn't advertised as a 'power' sail, it got me going when the slalom dudes were on 8m sails, and got me going earlier then other similar sized wave sails Didn't save me from sailing straight into a sandbank thou lol

I reckon sails must be getting better, cause I've gone from a 5.9 as my biggest sail, to a 5.6, and I reckon I plane earlier now.

I'll be in the pick up the severne mast next week, the s1 works on my powerex, but far from optimal, should be AMAZING with the right mast.

Gee it looks a rather somber affair. Was the beer warm and the pizza cold or were you all just listening closely???

Great meet and greet. Many thanks to Ben and Matt from Severne as well as Simon from BC. Seriously glad I made the effort to get along. I got a real sense of a sail developer keen on his craft that is really trying to push the envelope of design and performance.
