HYPER 8

FOIL RACE
HYPER CHARGED FLIGHT.

The Hyper’s legacy is undeniable; countless national, continental, and world titles over the years have established it as the definitive benchmark in foil racing.

The next generation Hyper 8 introduces design enhancements that notably elevate performance metrics that matter. A more open and narrower head design not only increases outright speeds but also ensures a smoother power transfer.

Flat entry profiles shift the deepest point further back, resulting in enhanced glide and a slippery in-flight sensation. This low-drag configuration is essential for maintaining stability across a wide range of winds; this is essential for optimal board trim. A rigid batten frame eliminates unnecessary movement when winds intensify and the rig powers up. Increased stability equals more speed.

The intuitive feel of the Hyper 8 adapts to a broader wind range, enhanced by the Xtended Range design. Keep pushing for longer, stay focused on the race, not your equipment. Don’t be fooled though, the Hyper 8 responds to input with decisive precision.

TECHNOLOGY

> Direct drive tensioners - The DDT 4 and DDT 5 tensioners directly connect the tube batten to the leech of the sail. This new design eliminates the heavy section of the tube that is needed for the standard batten tensioner. And being smaller, it has superior aerodynamics. It is used on all lower tension battens in the OVERDRIVE and the MACH 7.

> Optimised aerodynamics - By aligning the battens with the direction of airflow drag has been reduced. Clean panels with minimal seams further improve the aerodynamics.

> Leading edge - Tuned entry with a finer leading edge rotation for reduced drag.

> Apex skin tension - Capitalizing on the performance and proven durability of the Apex Pro mast, more luff curve has increased skin tension to lock the profile low and forward where it can be most easily controlled.

> Spiderfibre - SpiderFibre on the leech of the sail massively increases the perimeter strength and inhibits vertical stretch between the sail panels.

> Performance monofilm construction - Monofilm Construction to maximise performance and minimize weight. Construction mimics the exact sail prototypes that were tested by our racers.

> Wider sleeve - A bigger sleeve provides the stability needed to handle the added power and improve low-end, as well as, upwind performance.

> Boom height reference - Boom height gauge for ease of reference.

> High visibility sleeve - Keep your opponents and surroundings in check while racing.

> XL performance - Used on the MACH 5, the XL Cam maximizes leading edge stability by allowing increased cam pressure to be distributed over a wider surface area.
Rotation is improved by the increased the leverage of the longer cam.
Mast wear is reduced due to less friction from the 8 rollers.

> Seamless foot construction - A single panel in the foot area with hidden load patches and zero exposed stitching eliminates seam abrasion and seam creep in this high load area. Maximum durability and minimum weight.

> Auto-adjust foot - Previously we focused on drag reduction in the upper parts of the sail, but with Mach 6, even the foot sections have been analysed and refined. Less tension on the foot edge combined with more forward-oriented shaping allows the foot to twist and auto-adjust.

> Optional clew positions - 

POSITION 1:

This is the recommended setting and carries the adjustable outhaul fitting. It creates the perfect balance between a comfortable clew height and leech tension. This is the setting that Matteo Iachino will use for 99% of PWA slalom races.

POSITION 2:

This setting is lower and further in. It softens the feel of the sail and may be more comfortable for smaller, lighter riders looking for more control in higher winds.

> 3&4 roller tack pulley - Roller tack pulleys are matched to the sails downhaul requirements and aligned for friction free downhauling and threading ease. Rig your sails with the Severne Hardware Division extensions for function and simplicity.
