It is said that Severne sails are furled the other way round than most sails because designer Ben Severne wants to look at the water when rigging at his home spot. A small thing, really. Anyone who is familiar with the osteopathic connections of the windsurf rig knows that everything is connected and therefore, in the end, the cleat on the extension and the tensioning lever on the boom have to be mounted differently in the southern hemisphere. This is perhaps also an aspect - at the end of the selection process. In the test, we concentrated mainly on the essential points, looking for stiff, grippy, functional booms. And the selection isn't bad this time - after all, many of the booms come from the same manufacturer and even use similar or identical components - so that in the end, the pad design or the side on which the lever sits could determine the purchase decision in some cases.
