Dorota Staszewska, Formula Windsurfing World Champion:
"The last year's introduced formula of 7 ranked events, silver fleet concept and other special requirements of women fleet proved to be the right direction towards popularizing racing among the female side of the sport. The 2002 Women Cup ranking reached 31 women participating in competition. And the level of competition has been constantly improving throughout the year, often making silver fleet concept only a back-up option. What's most important last year's racing changed the spirit and attitude of women racers and gained much more interest of media world wide.

This years edition again covers 7 events, but this time we will include a non-European based event. We are going to Canada in July aiming on stimulating Women's windsurfing growth on the other side of Atlantic. It will be exciting to see new faces and see different perspective on formula racing. The goal for the next years is to establish one America and one Asia women's event and this way bring formula closer to other centers of the World.

Last year's edition was a very good experience and the outcome of 2003 schedule is the result of many weeks discussion between women sailors themselves and their opinion on organization, weather conditions, etc. It all shaped the general view on the needs of women's racing. We are hoping that the calendar will be suitable to everyone interested to join Women Cup circuit."
