RS:X - World Sailing Games 2006
The Neil Pryde RS:X Olympic windsurfer finally had to prove itself during the Wolrd Sailing Games 2006 on Lake Neusiedler in Austria. A wide spectrum of conditions during 10 days - from light breeze to heavy storm - indeed showed the potential of the "Beijing" board. The medals go to Qiu Bin Chen (China, gold), Olga Maslivets (Ukrain, silver) and Blanca Manchon (Spain, bronze)! posted by editors at 7:46 PM |

Formula Windsurfing European Championships 2006 A European Championship doesn’t settle with a result from a single regatta. To find the finalists you must have at least three regattas for each of the Classes. If we add this to the fact that is necessary to split the Fleets in two divisions, since over 100 Sailors were registered, nine Regattas were needed to find the Formula Windsurfing European Champions 2006. Today, the 13th, was the final opportunity to end the Event. The Schedule was the same as the day before and, at 6.00 am, all the competitors were at the beach to see the sun rise, since the weather forecast foresaw winds coming from the “Levante do Estreito de Gibraltar” for the morning’s early hours. After two exciting regattas, one of the Blue Fleet and one of the Yellow Fleet, the Championship showed a valid result, and the winners were crowned. Allison Shreeve AUS 911 [Neil Pryde, F2, Deboichet, Balance Water] was the big winner of the competition. However, since the Australian girl is out of the competition for the European title, Sarah Herbert FRA 61 [Starboard, Naish], from France, was crowned Formula Windsurfing European Champion 2006. posted by editors at 10:18 PM |
