The MOWIND classes page  (link also available in right menu)  has been updated for 2011.  The suggested A Fleet class list is now:  KONA, Raceboard, Open Unlmited, 8.5 Limited and Women.   Classes in the Sport and Workshop fleet remain the same.     Warm weather and racing will be here again soon so be sure to check out if these classes are ones you might want to participate in this season.   Â
MOWIND wants to help the KONA One Design class grow and even suggests this class be given it’s own start when numbers are sufficient.    A successful and windy 2010 KONA Worlds was recently held in Miami.  The boards and rigs used in the Worlds are being sold at reduced prices.   This class uses the 220 liter KONA One longboard with an RAF KONA sail size maximum based on a sailors weight.
-  6.6 sail  64.9 kilos or less
- Â 7.4 65 to 74.9 kilos
- Â 8.2 sail 75 to 84.9 kilos
-  9.0 sail  85 kilos and up
see http://www.kona-windsurfing.com/Â for informaton on the KONA one design class.
The Raceboard  class has been around for near a decade internationally and supports modern production longboards and hybrid boards.  It’s gear limits of one hull and two sails per event helps greatly in reducing the cost of competing.  There is also a sail size maximum of 9.5 for men and 8.5 for women and juniors.   Â
see http://www.raceboard.org/Â for information on the Raceboard class rules and approved boards.
The popular MOWIND 8.5 Limited and Open Unlimited classes remain as they are were with no hull limits.
