Severne Gator 8.0 – Windsport Spring 2006 “Super stable no-cam speedster”
 
"Severne introduces the Gator as an ultra durable fast freeride option, it offers all the speed and stability of the NCX with an all grid construction.


The Gator 8.0 is a top-speed oriented no-cam built to excel on today’s wide shaped boards...its acceleration is solid as it races up to top speed in no time. The Gator shows no fear of sizeable gusts holding its speed and crisp feel no matter what is thrown at it. Its cutaway clew makes for a shorter boom length allowing for easier trim work and better maneuverability. Severne’s all new proprietary materials give the Gator amazing looks and durability without increasing rig weight. Definitely priced right, it offers excellent value for speed for anyone looking for a durable slalom blaster. With a slightly higher foot and shorter boom the Gator offers more maneuver oriented slalom performance than the NCX which is a light weight pure slalom blaster.
 
Bottom Line: Fast and solid freerider with incredible stability."

 

This is the NCX on steroids -- the high flex response and wide wind range is coupled with a new zero monofilm construction. All new proprietary materials allow us to build in the highest level of durability with no weight penalty. The foot angle has been raised slightly over the NCX to make it more maneuver oriented, and SuperX capable. The cutaway clew allows shorter boom lengths to be used, resulting in a more direct feel.

 

The Gator utilizes our new Homogenous Batten Concept. Different batten configurations are used in different sizes in order to get a consistent feel between sail sizes. Smaller sails use 5 battens above the boom and higher shaping in order to increase drive through the board. Mid sizes use 2 battens below the boom to increase lift and reduce the down force on the board. Large sizes have an extra batten added above the boom to give a more direct feel consistent with the other sizes.

Rig Ergonomics: Balanced power distribution through both rig and board. Neutral leg pressure. Huge sweet spot.
Board type: FreeMove boards, FreeRide boards, and SuperX boards.

We have sailed the Gator extensively. Ask us how it will work for you.

MATERIALS:
  • MetaleX II: New and improved version of our origional MetaleX. Now with twisted Aramid fibres for increased strength, and reduced weight.
  • KS Optic X-Ply: Twisted Spectra and Aramid fibres give unprecedented strength, allowing wider spacing for vision. Used in the window area of selected sails.
  • K3 X-ply: 3mil X-ply laminate, with high Aramid content to give the stretch characteristics of a material 20% heavier. Used to reduce weight in selected sails.
  • K6 X-ply: 6mil Aramid X-ply laminate. Used in heavy duty applications.
  • K2 WarpPly: 2mil Aramid reinforcing laminate. Used to reduce perimeter stretch.
  • Monofilm: High quality Japanese films, in varying thicknesses.
  • Dura-Sleeve: Sleeve specific material, high durability with good stretch qualities.
  • Battens: 8mm rod, PrePreg glass tubes and PrePreg Carbon tubes are selected for each application.

Severne Gator 8.0 – Windsport Spring 2006 “Super stable no-cam speedster”
 
Severne introduces the Gator for ’06 as an ultra durable fast freeride option in their lineup. Billed as the “NCX on steroids,” it offers all the speed and stability of the NCX with an all grid construction. Severne has developed a concept called “rig ergonomics,” through the complete analysis of a working sail, to help provide a more comfortable balanced feel for all riders.


The Gator 8.0 is a top-speed oriented no-cam built to excel on today’s wide shaped boards. Preferring to be powered, its acceleration is solid as it races up to top speed in no time. The Gator shows no fear of sizeable gusts holding its speed and crisp feel no matter what is thrown at it. Its cutaway clew makes for a shorter boom length allowing for easier trim work and better maneuverability.


Testers found the Gator to work best when downhauled a little past spec. Tune it up to get the center-of-effort positioned where you like it and leave it alone. The Gator will do the rest of the work for you. Severne’s all new proprietary materials give the Gator amazing looks and durability without increasing rig weight. Definitely priced right, it offers excellent value for speed for anyone looking for a durable slalom blaster.
With a slightly higher foot and shorter boom the Gator offers more maneuver oriented slalom performance than the NCX which is a light weight pure slalom blaster.
