I read this week somewere on internet there was on 7 august a severne 2027 demo at tenerife on the New blade pyro and gorilla mast extrention, but i can not find this online

Saw the 2027 production 83 Pyro, S-1, Blade and Blade pro last night.

Gen3? Pyro has been nicely tweaked and tidied up from the prototypes. Simple red+fluro orange graphics. I want one.

Both Blade types were rigged and set very differently to my 2-3yr old blade pros. All the sails were bloody light fully rigged. The Pro is looking far more adventurous this year with a mix of old+new materials that give them a new visual. S-1 looked as good as ever.

Can't wait for the season to hit, had enough of this winter. Thanks to Severne for the beer and hotdog!

Severne is also now producing a new Enigma boom size: 130-170. Previously 140 was the smallest size.

not sure about the need for an ultra small carbon boom but I would love to see wider ends for all wave booms, especially the 140.
The 150 is close to the Aeron booms but the 140 is simply too narrow for sails 4.5 and up. Looking at the 2026 blade with a longer boom it would be great to see the related equipment corresponding to it.
That being said, I do have the Pyro 87 on order and should arrive in the next days/week 😎

I filmed Ben a couple of months ago using a 2027 5.6 S1. Don't remember if it was a standard or pro.

nice video!
the sail does look better on the videos than in the heavily pixelated advance images the brand sent out.
based on those, this appears to be the pro version.

you're not likely to see that this go-around.

Thanks for the info. It is the decision of Severne not to cater to such customers need and reflect the evolution of their own products.
Not sure about other markets but for Japan many are switching from Enigma to Aeron due to the wider tail.
I've compared the 150 base Enigma against the Aeron and the Enigma is just a tad more narrow but the look of the tail is deceiving. The 140 however is something that I would consider old school.
Still looking forward for my Pyro 87 to arrive shortly.

Only by the looks of it the new boom head does not seem any stronger or more ergonomic than the old and proven one. I don't want even to imagine what might happen in the rare event of a plastic crack.. The integrated bumper is gone- no board protection whatsoever. 20% lighter hollow point bolts, less swing weight.. oh, come on.. I am keeping my lockjaw.

The older head doesn't lock as tight as other brands fwiw. simmer for example is firmer on the mast..

Severne not quite as firm. Looks like the new head design is firmer . Time will tell.
