ISWC World Rankings updated |

Tuesday, 28 April 2009 |

After the first two events of the 2009 season (French Open and Belgium Open, both held in the south of France) the rankings have been updated with the latest results.
The world ranking is a "rolling" ranking system which includes all events from the past 12 months. A previous event is deleted as soon as the current years event finishes, or after 12 months latest.
Anders Bringdal gained the most from the participation in both events, as he did not score in 2008, and thus is ranked 2nd in the world now, just behind 2008 World Cup winner Cyril Moussilmani. Valerie Ghibaudo is still leading the womens ranking, with another first place in the French Open event.
The full rankings can be found here: http://www.speedworldcup.com/rankings-2009.html

Mauritius postponed, Karpathos confirmed |

Due to organizational problems we need to postpone the Mauritius event until further notice. One of the main issues was, that the national flight company has dramatically reduced their flights and we can not guarantee shipping of all equipment in time.
Karpathos has thus been confirmed now as 2009 one-off world championship. Registration will be opened shortly, please do not book any flights before your starting place is confirmed.
We will also confirm soon the status of the remaining major events, as well as possible additional national events.

Tuesday, 21 April 2009 |
Yesterday was a bit strange for me as the mood changed from a record breaking mode to a more reflective one. It also marked the end of a record session plagued by winds that always seemed to be just not quite right.
We went out to speed-spot as it was our final day of this two month record period as we didn’t want to miss any opportunity.

Feed Sailrocket: The bitter end... |

Monday, 20 April 2009 |
Well... Damnit... things just didn't go our way I'm afraid.
We did all we could as the weather once again played games with us. We were looking for a solid, punchy day as was forecast but late in the afternoon the 14's and 15's on the TACKTICK wind meter just left me feeling slightly sick. Sure they were accompanied by the odd 20 and even 21 knot gust... but those 'holes' in the wind would kill us as far as a speed run would go. I knew that those numbers will have a significant impact on our future and will leave me with no fond memories. Local friends on kite and wind surfers stopped in at the timing hut to offer condolensces as they knew how much it meant to us.

We have two days left... and today is supposed to be the windy one. Yesterday didn't quite grunt up. We did yet another easy and un-dramatic 40 something knot run.
Once we knew we weren't going to break any records we headed home.
