Televised (or YouTube) Olympic Class Racing  Bottom

  • Chance to see how the pro's get it done May 1, 2016 at Hyères, France.

    Coverage starts 11:10 CEST (Central European Summer Time) which is 6 hours ahead of USA's Eastern time, 7 hours for Central and a whopping 9 hours ahead of Pacific Time.

    The Nacra 17 class coverage starts at 13:10, which means 6:10am Central Time for me, so I probably won't be seeing this live. icon_cool

    The Nacra 17 Olympic class has some exciting development going on, the sailors are so good that they are nearly full foiling using basic curved "C" boards and standard rudders. The class is now in the process of petitioning World Sailing to change the Olympic class to top entry "Z" boards and L shaped rudders to allow sustained full foiling.
