Forecast for the week at http://www.windguru.cz/es/index.php?sc=25747

Anderson and Landy showing their experience and consistency are still key. Steve Brewin had a 13th and a BFD, not a good start obviously for him.TNZ squad members Davies and Burling are 5th and 6th overall.

Nice see Thomas Paasch , IACA websmaster in 12th overall, he had a really good 2013 season and continues to perform. Thilo Keller had a BFD and a 21st.

Current Worlds Champ, Mischa Heemskerk with a bad day too: 24 & 32 for a 26th overall.
Image above, Glenn Ashby finishing in full foiling. This mode is now been standard downwind even in 7-10knots.

We've been pretty cautious from the official IACA website on this subject, but already with Day 1 of racing there is nothing to hide or minimize. The Class representatives will define in the AGM steps to follow regarding new developments.

Contact your local Assoc for more info on Class official matters. We'll be informing in due time about AGM minutes when received.

More info when available.
