Dear Speed Sailors,
the 2007 rules have been published. You can download them at http://www.speedsurfing.org/docs/rules/rulebook2006.pdf
The main changes are:
- A maximum of three events are counted for the 2007 world ranking list. This can be Grand Prix events as well as national events.
- The dates of the national events counting towards the world ranking will be published soon on our website. Everyone competing on one of these events will be automatically included in the world ranking.
- The minimum wind conditions are reduced by one knot to 17 knots on a square course, the wind speed for different angles was adapted accordingly
- The race format can be either full fleet racing, silver-gold or split-fleet. Split fleet is a new system that might be introduced to avoid everlasting going up and down of the same sailors between silver and gold. The system is comparable to that one used in formula
We hope to see as many of you as possible at the upcoming Grand Prix Events as well as on the national events counting towards the world ranking!
