The Gator has a bit more seam shaping compared to the Blade, so the Gator is a bit more powerful and locked in compared to the Blade. The Blade does also get some shape under power however the profile is a bit flatter than the Gator. The 2022 Blade has a bit deeper profile under power than the 2023 Blade since the 2022 has the dacron panel next to the mast to let the sail inflate a bit deeper under power. The power delivery on both the Blade and Gator is very smooth. The Blade will be a bit more maneuverable than the Gator. The Gator will have a bit more power. Both work great for bump and jump. If you want a more reactive sail get the Blade. If you want a bit more power and locked in feel, then the Gator. I agree, the Ezzy's will be on the water what they are off the water. Either flat and no power but can maneuver ok, or powerful but awful for jibing and maneuvers with very little feedback form the rig. Severne sails build profile under power which lets the sail set into a locked position under power, yet go relatively flat and depower for maneuvers and control. Best of both worlds, just tuned differently depending on what the rider's main focus is between the Blade and Gator.
