International Raceboard Class

"Hybrid" - a division of Raceboard 2006 onwards Posted On: 09/01/2006 18:15:56 The last AGM of the International Raceboard Class elected to include "hybrid" raceboards as a division of the class. Hybrids are defined as raceboards having a maximum length of 320 cm. In all other respects the standard class rules apply - the other key points relating to a board dimensions: minimum length 270cm, and maximum width 100.5cm. Equipment Rules relating to weight, fin, centreboard, sail and rig components, and limitations, are unchanged (link to Class Rules ) Additionally, at the 2006 Raceboard Youth World Championships competitors will be limited to registering hybrid boards. At all other Class Championhips hybrid will be a prize category with "class titles" . . . unless otherwise stated.

Raceboard Class - Revised Logo and Revised Rules Posted On: 21/12/2004 22:48:11 The International Raceboard Class (IRC) is undergoing a transformation - the introduction of revised Class Rules in the New Year and with it a new logo. Modern "hybrid" raceboards and increased maximum sail size (9.5 men, 8.5 women) will ensure that the IRC enters a period of expansion and further development. Already 3 of the hybrid models tested at the Olympic Evaluation Trials are in production; and of course the new Olympic equipment, Neil Pryde RS:X is class legal. It is anticipated that other brands and models will follow suit. World and Continental Championships are planned for 2005 - and details being finalised now, for confirmation in January. Also coming on line in the new year - a new look website. Merry Christmas to past, present - and future - Raceboarders. Roll on the New Year! Paul Leone Raceboard Chairman
