I'm looking forward to reporting back after using it. So far initial impressions are of a very high standard of workmanship. The area where you grip is reduced diameter but then the boom bulges out to a larger diameter where the extension is, so the boom is massively stiff. Even at full extension (only 40 cm of extension), it feels as stiff as a race boom. Probably over engineered for a crossover boom, but maybe the 180 kg crowd also need shorter booms?

And I thought I was heavy

I don't get it.
The Severne enigma goes from 160-210cm and it is lighter...

I felt them in the shop, the North felt lighter. Maybe weight deflation is a thing on the Severne website?

Has been a crappy summer in Florida. Had a couple of sessions with my Severne Turbo 7.5 on the river. I used the Severne outhaul clew pulley so that I didn't have to rethread the outhaul rope.

Boom is definitely stiff and light, felt good with the Turbo.

It's now a loop and go set up.

Video of rigging using the loop and go outhaul. Filming is awkward because I was filming with one hand and rigging with the other.

I had planned to use the 165-205 X-Over boom only with my 6.7 and bigger sail, but after breaking my 150-200 Aeron Carbon in big waves recently, I had to use the X-Over boom with smaller sails.
