Sopot Formula Grand Prix Day 3
Currently we are on postponement as the seabreeze has failed to develop at 2pm.Allision Shreeve gave a presentation on the new Formula Windsurfing One Design Format.It's up to sailors now to convince the representatives to vote favorably at the ISAF November meeting.As for me, I think the new class could fit in well in the existing Formula class but at the Olympics in 2012 do I want to be sailing on a rig that was designed 5 years ago? Formula has worked so well because of the innovation and development in the class. Having Olympic class status is a doubled edged sword: you've got to abide by the ISAF regulations such as having one rig to work in 6-25 knots. Thats always proved to be a compromise compared to the Formula class where you can have up to 3 rigs that can match each sailors weight and wind range.www.stevebodner.com Full Story »
