Boardsailing - An Olympic Class History<
by Bruce Kendall of New Zealand - dual Olympian Medal winner.

Our sport is still called Boardsailing in Olympic jargon and was a demonstration sport at the 1984 Games in Los Angeles and an Olympic event at each Games since.

1984 - Los Angeles, USA
For Los Angeles, the Olympic board choice was between the original Windsurfer One Design manufactured by Hoyle Schwitzer and the Windglider designed and made in Europe. The Windglider was chosen late in 1983 based on it being more 'one design' as the Windsurfer was made of polyethylene and its rocker could be easily changed with heat and weight on a daily basis. The Windglider used a 6.5m sail but the use of a harness was not permitted. The daggerboard weighed around 4kgs and was carried over the sailor's shoulder during the downwind legs and when reaching with many sailors ending up with badly bruised thighs and legs from it swinging wildly and uncontrollably around in heavy weather. The course of 9 nautical miles sorted out who had put the time into training and who hadn't. A real Olympic feat just to finish. The supplied equipment was rotated daily (except for the rigs). The 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles were won by Stephan Vandenburg from Holland, Scott Steel from the USA was second and Bruce Kendall from New Zealand third. Bruce is still the youngest Olympic boardsailing medallist so far at 20 years of age. Australia's own Greg Hyde was there as well.

1988 - Pusan, Korea
The next Olympiad saw the introduction of Division II boards for the Olympics. The Division II class used a 6.5m sail and were round bottomed boards designed for upwind sailing in light to moderate winds and had a good competitive weight range. Although they were difficult to sail downwind and a technical board to sail upwind, they are still the fastest 12 foot board upwind in up to 8 knots of breeze. Again, the Olympic board was decided only one year before the Olympics. The contest had been between the Davidson (a Swedish design) and the Lechner built in Austria. The reason for the choice was a mystery to most but it was hinted that North Sails had some influence in the Lechner finally being selected. The final Olympic rig was available less than a year before the Olympics. Pusan in Korea was reportedly a light wind venue but no one realised until too late that this information came from the airport which was located in a sheltered valley. It turned out to be that the 1988 Olympic Games were the windiest ever with one day of racing postponed due to too much wind. one day of racing saw around 30 knots of wind with 5 knots of current going against the wind. There was a lot of equipment damage and rescues for many classes resulting in many DNF's and requests for redress. Again, the supplied equipment was rotated daily (except for the rigs). Bruce Kendall won Gold without having to sail in the last race, Jan Boresma from the Netherland Antilles (a surprise) won Silver while Mike Gebhart from the USA won the Bronze.  Australia's Chris Lawrence was there as well.

1992 - Barcelona, Spain
For the 1992 Olympics, the Olympic Class for the first time was announced four years in advance and it was to include a women's event for the first time. This saw a real growth in Olympic windsurfing globally. the Lechner was modified to bring the centreboard and mast track further aft. The sail size went up to a camber induced 7.3m rig. this shifted the competitive weight range up without increasing it dramatically. The rig supplier, Neil Pryde, was decided 3 years before the Olympics. Barcelona was the first and only time (so far) that the Olympic village was next to the Olympic Harbour. Many there will remember having to sail in the polluted water. The supplied equipment stayed with the sailor for the entire regatta as it was excepted that each board needed special tuning to the daggerboard system. Barbara Kendall from New Zealand won Gold, Zhang Xiaodong from China won Silver with Doreen De Vries from Holland winning the Bronze. The men's regatta saw a close battle for the Gold between frank David from France, who eventually won and Mike Gebhart from the USA who won the Silver. Australia's Lars Kleppich won the Bronze. Fiona Taylor represented Australia in the women's event. There were some equipment failures that affected the medal results in this Olympics but for the first and last time there wasn't any redress allowed for equipment failure. This may have been a factor for the change from Division II to the
Mistral Class for the next Olympics.

1996 - Atlanta, USA
The 1996 Atlanta Olympics were sailed in Savannah on the Warsaw Sound. For the most part the class and equipment to be used had been known since 1992. This gave the Olympic windsurfing sport a huge boost and helped make it more universal. For the first time amid much controversy pumping the sail was allowed. This had a dynamic effect on the sport and as in 1984, supreme fitness was a factor in deciding the Olympic winner. There was a surprisingly large amount of equipment failure in 1993 leading up to the Olympics such that some sailors would sail with an extra daggerboard. Some were able to break the boom at will. Mistral did its best to remedy this with some modifications. again, the supplied equipment stayed with the sailor for the entire regatta. There wasn't any significant equipment failure that effected medal chances. Sailors had to contend themselves with the one hour plus bus and boat ride from their accommodation to the floating barge where the equipment was stored and back each day. Most noteworthy were the regular and extreme thunder and lightning storms which resulted in postponed and abandoned races due to massive wind strength and direction changes. The Medallists came from all corners of the world which showed that finally the Olympic Boardsailing class was no longer dominated by the developed sailing nations. Lai Shan Lee from Hong Kong won the women's Gold, Barbara Kendall from New Zealand Silver and Alissandra Sensini from Italy the Bronze. Nikos Kalaminakis from Greece won the men's Gold, Carlos Espinola from Argentina the Silver and Gal Friedman from Israel won the Bronze. Brandan Todd who is currently Australia's Boardsailing Coach represented Australia in the men's event and Natasha Sturges representing in the women's event.

2000 - Sydney, Australia
There wasn't any significant challenge for equipment to be used in the Boardsailing events for the 2000 Olympics in Sydney and the Mistral One Design Class remained. This gave the class the chance to consolidate itself worldwide and the Olympic aspirants a renewed confidence in their preparations and campaigns for the 2000 Games. There are now more Olympic Class Windsurfing Organisations around the world and more Olympic Class boards on the water than ever before. The international standard has a broader base than ever before. a look at the last four years of World Championships results confirms this. The Mistral One design is the most 'one design' of any of the Olympic sailing classes and the least expensive to campaign. However, in 1997, Mistral with only good intentions embarked on a mission to modify the Olympic equipment to make it more durable, more 'one design' and more user friendly without increasing costs or changing the performance characteristics. This has been largely achieved. In an effort to further reduce costs, Mistral tried to shift production of the boards to Malaysia and then, due to perceived insurmountable difficulties, shifted the production back to Europe. As often has been the case during previous Olympiads, the supply of Olympic equipment didn't always meet demand and this has caused much frustration for the sailors and has prompted some call for a change. If there is a change of the Olympic Class we will possibly be witnessing on Sydney Harbour for the last time the pinnacle of Olympic Class Boardsailing in its purest form. If there isn't a change, the Olympic Class stands to only get stronger and help to build the whole sport of Windsurfing globally better than ever before.

Due to the big equipment performance differences found in other windsurfing classes Olympic Class Boardsailing is possibly the most pure type of athletic sail racing in the world - a real Olympic sport. Sadly, it is and poossibly always will be little understood. Like all small craft sailing classes, the best informed spectators are the competitors. It has taken twenty years of two steps forward and one back for Olympic Boardsailing to get to the level it is now. As a consequence of the Olympic Boardsailing Class's current achievements, governments are allocating a lot of funding towards growing the sport. The current Olympic Class is a great asset to the sport of windsurfing. Let's look after it and keep the current Olympic Class for at least another Olympiad.

2004 Olympic Selection Bid

1. OLYMPIC WINDSURFING SHOULD REFLECT THE COMPETITION FORMATS ON ALL LEVELS AND AROUND THE WORLD.

A.       A.       IMCO equipment is raced in 70 countries worldwide at Youth and Senior level including 5 continental championships, one world championship and one youth world championship. In addition, there is a developing Asian Continental Racing Circuit containing 6 international events;

B.       B.       IMCO is the second biggest fleet at the “Semaine Olympique Francaiseand at SPA; there are IMCO fleets in all the main Olympic Class Regattas in all continents of the world. The Mistral One Design is the current ISAF Youth World Championship official windsurfing equipment and is the current EuroSAF appointed Youth Windsurfing Equipment;

C.       C.       The Mistral One Design is currently the official windsurfing equipment for the Asian Games, the Pan Am Games, The Small Island Games, the World University Games and the South Pacific Games amongst others;

2. OLYMPIC WINDSURFING SHOULD BE MODERN AND ATTRACTIVE FOR BOTH THE PARTICIPANTS AND THE MEDIA.

A.       A.       There is currently only one Olympic sailing event, which uses more modern equipment (49er) than the Mistral One Design;

B.       B.       IMCO, like any Olympic Class, has seen the level & quality of competition become higher in each succeeding year. Nationally, this has had the effect of reducing local fleets to either those competitors serious about “Going for the Olympics” or Youth Development squads. Inevitably, recreational competitors have left to race Raceboard or even FW as it is easier to be competitive and not so serious;

C.       C.       IMCO racing is as attractive to spectators and the media as any other Olympic sailing event in fact probably more so because at the Pre-Olympics the spectator boats came to the “boards” course first in preference to viewing the 49ers or the Tornado catamarans;

D.       D.       IMCO events get regular coverage in main stream national and regional newspapers;

E.        E.        IMCO has made great strides forward in ensuring TV coverage of its events and worldwide distribution of the images. 5 TV stations covered the 1999 Mistral Worlds. The 1999 Mistral Europeans in Poland were covered by German and Polish National terrestrial TV and achieved viewing figures of 10m. per airing?

F.        F.        When IMCO has the promotional budget to invite specialist “windsurfing” journalists to its events, it has achieved impressive coverage in the windsurfing press;

3. THE FORMAT AND EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE USABLE FOR COMPETITION ALL AROUND THE WORLD.

A.       A.       IMCO equipment is raced in 70 countries worldwide at Youth and Senior level including 5 continental championships, one world championship and one youth world championship. In addition, there is a developing Asian Continental Racing Circuit containing 6 international events;

B.       B.       IMCO is the second biggest fleet at the “Semaine Olympique Francaise” and at SPA; There are IMCO fleets in all the main Olympic Class Regattas in all continents of the world. The Mistral One Design is the current ISAF Youth World Championship official windsurfing equipment and is the current EuroSAF appointed Youth Windsurfing Equipment.

C.       C.       The Mistral One Design is currently the official windsurfing equipment for the Asian Games, the Pan Am Games, The Small Island Games, the World University Games and the South Pacific Games.

4. THE EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE ACTIVELY RACED BY WOMEN WORLDWIDE.

A.       A.       The Mistral One Design Women’s fleet is the biggest women’s windsurfing fleet on the planet;

B.       B.       In the 1999 Mistral World Championship, 64 women entered. This represents 66% of the men’s fleet.

C.       C.       There is a growing women’s fleet in the Asian Continental Racing Circuit;

D.       D.       In a recent IMCO women’s forum, there was unanimous support for the Mistral One Design for 2004. Andrea Hoeppner, Barbara Kendall, Sigi Rondelez, and Alessandra Sensini, all of whom raced on the PWA circuit, are now racing the Mistral One Design and support it’s selection for 2004;

E.        E.        Jessica Crisp, an ex-PWA World Champion, supports the Mistral One Design as the Olympic equipment for 2004;

F.        F.        IMCO works hard to ensure equality of opportunity between the men’s & women’s fleets both in terms of wind conditions as well as TV coverage and prize money.

G.       G.       At the 2000 World Championship, GEMS TV, a South American “Women’s Issues” satellite channel, covered the IMCO women’s fleet exclusively;

H.       H.       At the 2000 Penta Mistral Cup, the prize money pool available to the women’s fleet was equal in size to the men’s fleet. Alessandra Sensini won US $10,000. No woman has ever won more in the history of windsurfing;

5. THE EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE PRODUCTION EQUIPMENT AND COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE AROUND THE WORLD AND IF POSSIBLE FROM MORE THAN ONE MANUFACTURER.

A.       A.       Mistral Sports GmbH is the largest distributor of windsurfing equipment in the world with the biggest dealer network;

B.       B.       IMCO have reached agreement with Mistral Sports GmbH so that the One Design sails can be made under licence by any sail “loft” anywhere in the world between 2001 and 2004;

C.       C.       IMCO will sell Mistral One Design spare parts through its e-shop based on the IMCO website so that competitors can buy at “retail price” direct from the factory for delivery anywhere in the world;

6. THE FORMAT AND EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE CAPABLE OF BEING USED IN A WIND RANGE FROM 6 > 35 KNOTS.

A.       A.       The Mistral One Design Format allows racing to commence in 5>6 knots of wind and depending on the sea state, can continue up to 30 knots of wind;

B.       B.       Since 1992 when IMCO was selected for the Olympics, we have never failed to complete a regatta due to lack of wind. In all cases, we have either completed the maximum number or races allowed or to within two races of that maximum;

C.       C.       The current Mistral One Design Format allows the boards to race successfully at all times when other Olympic classes are racing. This will not be the case if FW is selected as the Olympic equipment;

7. THE EQUIPMENT SHALL BE OF HIGH QUALITY, DURABLE AND AFFORDABLE.

A.       A.       A new Mistral One Design costs less than an Optimist;

B.       B.       Production of the Mistral One Design has now been transferred back to Germany and is now built in the same factory as many FW “wide style” boards;

C.       C.       Small nations like Fiji can compete on an equal footing with the rich ones. Tony Philp (FIJ) came 2nd in the 1999 Mistral World Championship;

8. OLYMPIC WINDSURFING SHOULD BE CAPABLE OF BEING COMPETED IN BY PEOPLE IN AS WIDE A PHYSIQUE RANGE AS POSSIBLE.

A.       A.       Mistral One Design competitors in the men’s fleet have a weight range of 64 >80 Kgs and in the women’s fleet have a weight range of 50>67 Kgs;

B.       B.       The 1999 FW World Champion weighed more than 90 kilos;

C.       C.       By way of a comparison, in the late 70s and early 80s, when the windsurfer class was dominant, out of the 320 pre-qualified male sailors at their world championship the mid-point in weight terms was always 68>69Kgs… 25% of the fleet was under 64Kgs… 25% between 64 & 69Kgs… 25% between 69 & 76 Kgs… Only 25% was over 76Kgs and less than 10% was over 80Kgs

NB. The only exception to this weight spread was when the WC was held in Japan when the mid-point was much lighter!

9. THE FORMAT AND EQUIPMENT SHOULD REDUCE THE NEED TO PUMP, WHILST AT THE SAME TIME BEING AT LEAST AS PHYSICALLY DEMANDING AS IT IS NOW.

A.       A.       The IMCO format is optimised to reduce the need to pump;

NB. At the 1998 ISAF Conference, The ISAF Council agreed that 6 knots should be the minimum wind speed for competition in Athens 2004.

10. EQUAL OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL NATIONS TO COMPETE AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL.

A.       A.       There are over 70 Countries currently sailing & racing the Mistral One Design world wide;

B.       B.       During 1999, we welcomed Belarus, Cuba, The Seychelles, Sudan, Tahiti, & Zimbabwe as National IMCOs making a total of 63;

C.       C.       The six medals in Savannah went to 6 countries in 4 continents;

D.       D.       At the 2000 Worlds, the top 3 men & top 5 women were from 3 different continents;

E.        E.        Overall 52 Nations took part in the 2000 Olympic qualification series for boards; 48 nations in the men’s fleet & 33 in the women’s;

F.        F.        Competitors from the “less well off” countries can afford to compete in IMCO Racing! Small nations like Fiji can compete on an equal footing with the rich ones. Tony Philp (FIJ) came 2nd in the 1999 Mistral World Championship;

G.       G.       IMCO is pro-active in the development of Junior & Youth competition;

H.       H.       Continental Regatta Series & Ranking Lists outside Europe enable development of national squads & offer international experience close to home inexpensively;

I.         I.         The Class leaves a legacy behind following all major regattas – IMCO encourages the development of local race management teams in each continent;

11. COMPETITORS IN OLYMPIC WINDSURFING ON ALL LEVELS SHOULD NOT BE EXPOSED TO EXCESSIVE HEALTH RISKS.

A.       A.       Mistral One Design Racing subjects competitors to less health risks and produces less injuries than other Olympic Classes;

B.       B.       The health risks involved in Mistral One Design Racing are no greater than in any other windsurfing racing format.

12. THE RESTRICTIONS ON THE EQUIPMENT: 1 BOARD, 2 SAILS AND OTHER EQUIPMENT RESTRICTIONS TO LIMIT COSTS.

A.       A.       Mistral One Design Racing Competitors in the Olympic fleet only use one board and generally, only one rig together with one fin and one daggerboard;

13. ATTRACT THE BEST & BEST KNOWN

A.       A.       The best Mistral One Design Racers such as Bruce Kendall, Aaron MacIntosh, Nikos Kaklamanakis, Mike Gebhardt, Barbara Kendall, Jessica Crisp, Lee Lai Shan & Alessandra Sensini are the best in the world and are recognised as such;

B.       B.       They are at least as good if not better than the best Funboard course racers;

C.       C.       In Asia, Karin Jaggi is unknown by the general public, in comparison to Lee Lai Shan;

D.       D.       In New Zealand, Bruce & Barbara Kendall are probably better known by the general public than Bjorn Dunkerbeck;

E.        E.        In Greece, Nikos Kaklamanakis is better known by the general public than almost any other sailor of any kind;

F.        F.        In Argentina, Carlos Espinola is better known by the general public than almost any other sailor of any kind;

14. PART OF THE PROGRAMME SHOULD LEAD THE SPORT AND ANOTHER PART SHOULD REFLECT THE SPORT.

A.       A.       Mistral One Design Racing is the most widely practised format worldwide and thus reflects the sport.

So, please support….
