Ich konnte dieses WE mal das 9.0 Point-7 AC1 im aufgebauten Zustand begutachten und habe gesehen wie tief das Profil ist. Deutlich tiefer als z.B. meine The Loft oder North RAM. Nach meiner Meinung liegt dieses Segel zumindest im Leichtwindtrimm bei Druck im Segel auch an der Gabel an.
Einen ähnlichen Eindruck habe ich auch bei Photos der PWA bekommen, auf Anhieb fällt mir Severne oder Gaastra ein.
Das bedeutet also, dass auch die Slalomgabeln die tiefen Profile mancher Slalomsegel nicht aufnehmen können (wenn man bedenkt, dass z.B. das Challenger noch mal mehr Profil haben soll...).
Haben die Gabelhersteller oder eigentlich ja die Segelhersteller die gleichzeitig auch Gabeln herstellen die Entwicklung neuer Gabeln verschlafen?
Optimal ist es ganz sicher nicht, wenn das Segel (schon recht weit Richtung Kopfstück) am Holmen anliegt. Wiviel Performaceverlust das mit sich bringt soll jemand anderes beurteilen, aber grundsätzlich kann es doch nicht sinnvoll sein, dass man Segel baut die nicht in die Gabel passen, oder?

Es ist in der Tat so, daß es praktisch kaum bis gar keine aktuelle Gabel gibt, die ein Segel mit tiefem Bauch im absoluten Leichtwind-Trimm aufnehmen kann.
Die AL360 ist definitiv aktuell die weiteste Gabel, deutlich mehr als die X9. Aber es reicht nicht immer. Sinn macht evtl. die AL360 Formulagabel, die ist noch breiter.

Gulftech hatte doch dieses super breite Endstück, oder wer war das? Zumindest gibt es den Hersteller nicht mehr am Markt. Das breite Endstück hilft aber auch nur bedingt...

Au Mann...

Dear Speed Sailors,

we forgot the almost most important part: the venue will be Dungarvan, Ireland, along a low tide sandbar with perfect angle and shape. This is really a record breaking venue when the wind blows from the southwest to west, which is the preferred direction produced by the Atlantic Low Pressure systems.

The dates are 17.10.2009 (registration day) until 23.10.2009, with the chance of two rollover periods if there is no good forecast at the first slot.

See below the original message with the additional information.

Competitor information

The event is been arranged on a rollover basis with the first week being treated as the most likely to take place, unless the forecast is really unsuitable the event will take place during this week, however having learnt our lesson last year we have the option to postpone until more suitable conditions look likely. This arrangement gives everyone the best chance of having a great weeks racing so we hope everyone accepts the logic behind it.

There is kit transport arranged from Dublin Airport for anyone not wanting to hire vans or the like. A pickup point within walking distance of the hotel will be arranged for the two days before the event with the gear being transported down on the morning of the event in time for registration. There may be a slight charge but it will be very small if there is one at all.

A large marquee has been arranged with allocated space for each competitor to store their equipment, within reason of course. This will be secured and have security every evening from 18.00 until skippers meeting the following morning.

The first day is set aside for registration, rigging, course inspection and race briefing.

Lunch will be provided in the event marquee for all competitors and additional food will be available to buy on site throughout the day. Coffee and tea will be provided to competitors throughout the day.

The racing schedule is dependant on the tides and is outlined below.

Discounted rates have been agreed with two local hotels, The Park Hotel for the windsurfers and The Gold Coast Hotel for the kitesurfers. The reason for this is twofold, kitesurfers will be able to avail more readily of the waterfront setting of the gold coast than the windsurfers with specialised speedboards and we also want to spread the accommodation around.

There will be a few shops in the marquee selling spares and extra woollies for the French.

We have a full time photographer in his own RIB on the water. A film production crew are producing a ½ hour programme as part of a series on adventure sports. We have a helicopter on standby for a few hours aerial coverage and are advised that the national broadcasters are interested in running a few segments on the event. All in all the media coverage is going to be huge pleasing the camera hogs and sponsored sailors alike.

There is a no wind day mornings entertainment arranged with Elite Paintball and discounted green fees have been agreed with Dungarvan Golf Club for those too mature to act like teenagers for a few hours.

The opening and closing parties are free of charge for competitors with a limited supply of free drinks as well.

The closing party will also be the prize giving with a prize fund of €10,000.00 with plenty of additional prizes on offer from event supporters.

The 2009 Pegasus Airlines Alaçati PWA World Cup – Final Day

Its party time, Turkey style, as the Pegasus Airlines World Cup draws to an exciting climax. Antoine Albeau and Valerie Ghibaudo predictably take the titles.

It was a long and hot day in Alaçati, as the competitors sweated it out on the beach, nervously waiting as the wind hovered around the minimum. With 5-15kts on the course, light wind patches were making life exceptionally difficult for race director Juan Antonio. Eventually at 16.30 he was forced to admit defeat and the show was finally over.

However on the beach, a huge crowd had gathered, the carnival atmosphere aided by the free flowing supply of Fosters beer. The obviously decision for the organization was to run a fun event, so the top 8 men were called forth once again for an encore.

The format was simple. A beach start in front of the growing audience, up to the first outside gybe mark, before continuing around the 4-buoy slalom course to finish back on the beach.

Allen proved he continues to be a powerful force in the lighter airs by dominating from start to finish. Behind Buzianis (JP/NeilPryde) and Albeau (JP/NeilPryde) scrapped for second, but for a change it was Albeau that came out the loser, taking third place.

With the crowd still bubbling with enthusiasm, ROZI put up another generous cash pot for the second ROZI CUP. This time the inclusion of one male competitor spiced things up, as the three teams battled for supremacy.

Team Turkey lead from the start, but a valiant comeback from Team France saw them arrive at the final leg in complete control of the race. However despite a massive gap to close down, it was the World Team that once again crossed the line in first place.

That signaled the end to this exciting event. Eight completed rounds in excellent slalom conditions saw a double win for France, after excellent performances from Antoine Albeau and Valerie Ghibaudo (Tabou/The Loft).

Albeau “It was a really great event, with three days of good wind and I think it was really fair racing. I am super happy to be consistent; I was the only one to make all the finals. And that’s it!”

Ghibaudo not only took the event title but with her immaculate performance all year, she also claims the PWA slalom title, counting three perfect first places!
Ghibaudo “It’s very nice for me and I have been waiting for this moment for a long time. It’s really great for me and for my sponsors. Monty (The Loft) is here and is really ‘appy….. I am very, very ‘appy.”

After a delightful display in front of the fans, Sarah-Quita Offringa (Starboard/NeilPryde) stands proud on the event podium. As the only racer capable of beating the invincible Ghibaudo, it is likely she will be putting in more hours on her slalom gear next year.

Offringa “I came here positive, aiming for top 3, but still I am really surprised. Next year I think I will still spend more time on my freestyle board, but we will see about slalom.”

Taking the second podium spot in the men’s discipline was a very content looking Maynard (RRD/NeilPryde). With this impeccable performance he cements his position in the overall and moves into the finals in Sylt with a healthy lead for second.

Maynard “I am really happy. I trained hard this year and everything has come together. I now realize I can really challenge Antoine and next year my goal is definitely World Champion.”

The final spots on the stage at the end of the day were taking by Sarah Hebert (Starboard/Naish) and the legendary Bjorn Dunkerbeck (Starboard/Severne).

Dunkerbeck “We had a great week with really good wind and eight great rounds of slalom. Windsurfing is so strong in Turkey, more beginners than I have ever seen. Its really refreshing to see!”

Sarah Hebert once again showed her winning focus.
Herbert “I should be really happy with third, but when its just one point away from second it is difficult. It was so close, but yes I am happy.”

That wraps up another fantastic event in Turkey. Together with the electrifying racing and the unbelievable party vibe, this surely goes down as one of the best events ever!

The 2009 Pegasus Airlines Alaçati PWA World Cup – Day 5

DAY 5 - NO CHANGES ON THE PWA LEADER-BOARD BUT TEAM WORLD STEP IN TO WIN THE ROZI LADIES CUP AND TAKE THE BOUNTIFUL €2000 PRIZE.

The majestic sun rose slowly over the Cezmi Peninsular, casting its warm glow upon the glassy waters of the Alaçati bay; Just another perfect morning in the paradise of Turkey.

Just one important difference to every other day however: No wind.
With local predictions varying all hope hung on a late thermal wind kicking in after lunch. As the day wore on however, expectations dropped and slowly the reality of the situation hit.

However the day was saved with the introduction of the ROZI LADIES CUP. A team challenge generously organized by event partner, Rozi. Team Turkey versus team France versus the World team, in a relay battle in front of an enthusiastic and energetic crowd.

Team Turkey consisted of their finest athletes. Çagla Kubat (Starboard/North Sails), Lena Erdil (Starboard/The Loft) and Melek Toraman (Starboard/North Sails).

Team France included event leader Valerie Ghibaudo (Tabou/The Loft), Alice Arutkin (Starboard/North Sails) and Marion Raïsi (Naish/Naish).

The World Team incorporated three of the event top four, with Sarah-Quita Offringa (Starboard/NeilPryde), Sarah Hebert (Starboard/Naish) and Karin Jaggi (F2/Severne) making up the seemingly invincible dream team.

>From the outset, the favorites dominated with Offringa pumping off into an impressive lead. Behind the remainder of the fleet struggled to plane with Kubat making up valuable ground for Team Turkey. Ghibaudo did her best to catch up in a last ditch chance for Team France but she was chasing an unattainable lead from The World team. With the crowd cheering, it was Jaggi that crossed the finish first claiming victory and the majority share of the prize purse.

As the party kicked off on the beach, the crowds were treated to free FOSTERS beer and the unofficial FOSTERS bikini contest. Tonight the music is pumping and it looks like the night will be a long one as the PWA enters into its grand finale.

As it stands, Albeau (JP/NeilPryde) leads by a comfortable margin, with Maynard (RRD/NeilPryde) and Dunkerbeck (Starboard/Severne) scrapping for second and third. In the women’s fleet, Ghibaudo now looks certain to win both the event and the World title. Behind her, the fight for the podium remains breathtakingly close between Offringa, Hebert and Jaggi. Whatever happens we are all set for a nail biting finish.

The 2009 Pegasus Airlines Alaçati PWA World Cup – Day 4

Albeau and Ghibaudo continue their domination, but fantastic days for Offringa and Maynard mix the rankings up in the overall.

Alaçati served up another day of strong Meltemi winds allowing two more rounds of high-octane slalom racing. The leaders maintained their supremacy, but the battle for the podium positions was intense.

Men’s

The first race of the day, race seven, saw Finian Maynard (RRD/NeilPryde) finally notch up a well-deserved victory. His performance has been awe-inspiring all week, but he lacked that crucial bullet next to his name until this morning. At the close of today’s proceedings he moved up into second overall by a comfortable margin.

Maynard “Results only count at the end of the event. For me nothing is certain until the race director finally calls it off at the end of the contest. I have had some personal problems here but I am just trying to stay focused.”
Antoine Albeau (JP/NeilPryde) however recorded the lowest points score of the day with a first and a second, once again stating to the fleet why he is the world Champion.

Albeau “I am more relaxed than normal knowing I am already World Champion. It takes the pressure off, but still I want to win. I want everyone to know I am still here and fighting just as hard!”

Bjorn Dunkerbeck (Starboard/Severne) clings on to third overall following a disastrous day. Two early exits in today’s quarter finals mean that he now has no room for any further mistakes if he wants to stay on the podium in two days time.
Kevin Pritchard (Starboard/Gaastra/Dakine) seemed to have his foot back on the gas, a third and a second in today’s races helped him move up in the rankings into fifth.

Pritchard “A much better day than yesterday. The course was better; the start was more even, I am definitely happier than last night!”

Micah Buzianis (JP/NeilPryde) had a mixed day but holds onto fourth place. A night vomiting with food poisoning was not ideal preparation for a day of intense racing.

Pierre Mortefon (JP/NeilPryde) was initiated into the elite group of finalists in the final race of the day. A well-deserved fifth place will hopefully spur this talented French young gun to even better things.

Women

With a sensational victory in race eight, Sarah-Quita Offringa (Starboard/NeilPryde) claimed the “sailor of the day” award. What makes the triumph even more glorious is that she is the first woman to break down the infallible Ghibaudo (Tabou/The Loft) here in Turkey. Sarah-Quita controlled the race from start to finish and kept here nerve, despite immense pressure from the leader. The result means she leaps from fourth to second ahead of Sarah Hebert and Karin Jaggi.

When told for the first time she was second she commented, “No way, really? That is sick!!! It must be really close, but I am super happy about it.”

Despite the set back for Ghibaudo she continues to count a perfect score of first places and now looks firm favorite to take the event title, and with it become the 2009 slalom World Champion.

Sarah Hebert (Starboard/Naish Sails) maintains third position with another superb performance. In race seven she pushed Ghibaudo almost to breaking point, but couldn’t quite seal the deal. With Offringa moving up the rankings and Jaggi (F2/Severne) dropping to fourth the difference between second and fourth is now just three points.

Hebert “I just need to be more consistent. I always do one good race and then one bad. I think it’s all about the start. It was quite a surprise when I saw the overall results.”

Karin Jaggi’s frustrating day with fourth and fifth place finishes has left the battle for the podium wide open. Whatever happens on the last two days, it looks like the women’s battle will go down to the wire.

Das halte ich für ein Gerücht...

Zitat von Phillip Becker

1.000 oder wat?

Ja sicher, oder was meinst Du was ein Highend Segel + X9 Mast und X9 Gabel kostet???

X9 -> 100% Carbon.

Zitat von Phillip Becker

also die kaufen eig nix neues zumindestens seid 3 jahren
was meinste mit local shop?
budget erhöhen schlecht als Schüler wenn man einfach nix ehr hat

Philip,

nur weil du heute schaust und nix findest, heißt es nicht, daß es morgen nix neues gibt.

Local Shop: Der Surfshop, der am nächsten an deinem Wohnort liegt. Mit denen kann man möglicherweise vernünftig reden.

Budget erhöhen nicht möglich: Dann nicht nach 09er Material schauen, sondern 00 - 07.

Zitat von Brigge

Für alle, die sich jetzt dem GT31 herumplagen müssen.
Grüße, Stephan

Und das habe ich gerade, mal wieder justiert, das 5. Gerät innerhalb eines Monats...

Aber glaube mir, es macht keinen Sinn, etwas nur für die Surferei aufzulegen. Jeder Euro ist einer zuviel.
Also lassen wir es bei den paar Protos und beglücken Privatdetektive, Speditionen, den BND, die Polizei, Geldtransporte und Co.

Es muß ja auch ein paar schlechte Beispiele geben...

Zitat von Phillip Becker

mhh die haben aber da keine breiteren boards nur noch diese funboards

Dann halt warten, bis es was gibt...
Oder mal den Local Shop besuchen...
Oder das Budget erhöhen...
Oder...
Oder...
Oder...

Zitat von Phillip Becker

Sicher, dann bist Du aber bei 1K!

Zitat von Phillip Becker

NEIN!

Zitat von Phillip Becker

http://cgi.ebay.de/Surfboard-Mistral-Flow-Freeride_W0QQitemZ230365974979QQcmdZViewItemQQptZDE_Sport_Wassersport_Windsurfen?hash=item35a2e1d1c3&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

Wenn es die Hälfte kosten würde, dann ja...

Also gibt es noch immer kein Allheilmittel?

Zitat von Fez

Hallo Totti , warum wurde das Gerät nicht weiterentwickelt ?
Andre

Für wen denn auch?

Zitat von pollux68

Na klasse!!! Also da versuch ich sicher erst was anderes, als gleich das Segel zu zerschneiden.

So leid es mir tut, aber das ist das normale Procedere...

Über welche Größe reden wir?

Jan,
wenn Du wie Oli wegen der Choppy Water email spekulierst, bitte mit Fakten! Über den preis fährt man keine Lorch!
