"In the end it was Antoine Albeau (Ahd/NP) and Kevin Pritchard (Bic/Gaastra)
tying for the win in the formula A division, both finishing with a total of
7 points. In the tie breaker it was Antoine coming out on top with the better
finish in the last race, crowning him the Midwinters Champion. Micah Buzianis
finished strongly in third."

They didn’t finish both with a total of 7 points. Please have a look at the

FUTURE OLYMPIC EQUIPMENT – YOUR FEEDBACK
On 14 March 2002, Paul Henderson published his thoughts on the future equipment
for the Olympic Regatta
(http://www.sailing.org/Article_content.asp?ArticleID=2064) and you have certainly
responded to it!

ISAF has received numerous emails giving your thoughts on Paul’s proposals.
Whilst there is a consensus of agreement to Paul’s wish "that talent, not
technology prevails" at the Olympic Regatta, there is certainly not consensus
on the equipment which should be used to achieve this.

GUEST EDITORIAL – SUPPORT FOR THE OLYMPICS
By Christine Brooks, Executive Director USWA
I have decided to be more vocal about the way windsurfers who are pursuing the
Olympic Dream are treated in the US. Superficially the Olympics may appear to
be simply another sporting event, but to those who strive to become an Olympian
the goal itself holds a sacred code that contains profound spiritual teachings
about oneself and about life in general. Only those who are given the opportunity
to experience the Olympic Dream can fully grasp the hidden meaning encoded in
the Olympics. Certainly, none of us are foolish enough to believe that the Olympics
are literally the most significant event in the world, or in one’s life. But,
those of us who have had contact with the Olympics recognize how striving to
become an Olympian is an introduction to the profound philosophy of tolerance,
acceptance, striving, sacrifice, dedication, and other values we hold so important
to successful daily living.

Only by striving for Olympic participation is it possible to decode the hidden
depths of meaning contained within the Olympic spirit. As you know, the path
to becoming an Olympian is divided into three levels that lead young people
step by step through ever deepening levels of understanding of themselves and
their fit within the world. Young people are first led into the initial challenges
of learning to windsurf by a dedicated cadre of instructors. While merely learning
to windsurf provides important feedback and meaning, competition offers deeper
feedback in terms of how one is progressing in the pursuit of knowledge and
skill. In the US we have insufficient coaches to take our youngsters to this
level. But, under the guidance of coaches (parents, or other adults) young people
can be taught the advanced skills and secrets to becoming the very best one
can be at a task and to persevere with a dream through all kinds of adversity.
The highest level occurs in striving to make the dream your very own – to sacrifice
all else as you strive higher and higher. Only one female and one male will
make the US Olympic Sailing Team for windsurfing – it will be the person who
has been blessed with the most talent, and who has learned how to become truly
dedicated to accomplishing a goal, no matter the sacrifice. Striving to be an
Olympian provides our youth with a tangible dream, but, it represents only one
of many dreams available to us as we progress through life. Even if one does
not make it on the national Olympic Sailing Team, all who strive are winners.
All who try will take their Olympic dream, and the associated experiences, with
them as they move down other new and exciting life paths.

I am deeply sorry that the Olympic component of windsurfing is not valued very
highly by the windsurfing fraternity. I am told that I should not get involved
in political issues – that I should remain neutral and keep my opinions to myself.
But, when I hear and read leaders within windsurfing state that we should not
concern ourselves with the Olympics because the sport is not given television
exposure, or because it is so small a component of windsurfing that dealers
cannot make money from the sale of boards, or that we should not concern ourselves
with youth because they don’t buy equipment, I cannot remain silent. These statements
burn at the core of my beliefs. Such statements illustrate a naïve notion
of what sport is all about and our responsibilities to our youth, especially
when it comes to providing them the opportunities to seek goals and to learn
important values. Whatever the future holds for windsurfing in the Olympics,
the young people who strive to participate will carry valuable memories and
experiences with them forever. The entire windsurfing fraternity should help
ensure more experiences like these for youth. It is our collective obligation
to put politics and economic self-interests aside and to encourage more young
people to seek the Olympic Dream. It is our obligation to celebrate those among
us who dare to pursue an exceedingly difficult task – to become an Olympian.
The best of luck to all of you – I am pleased that windsurfing is doing its
part – however small – to improve the health of our young people and to help
strengthen their values.
Christine

Professional Windsurfers Association introduce:
WINDSURFING HALL OF FAME
The Windsurfing Hall of fame serves to honor those that have made a special
and significant contribution the sport of Windsurfing. May it be a sailor, past
champion, industry VIP, press member or a notoriety of windsurfing.

3 nominee¹s will be inducted into the Hall of Fame every year and will
be honored on the PWA website under "Hall of Fame". This will be categorized
by year with photos and a special profile for the member of the windsurfing
Hall of Fame.

PWA Chairman Phil McGain says "The sport is over 35 years old now, it¹s
about time we recognized and honored those special people who have made windsurfing
what it is today".

There will be selection committee chosen by the PWA management Board, this
committee will decide from the nominees put forward who will be inducted that
year. Nominees can be put forward by any interested windsurfer who knows someone
who has made a contribution to the sport over the past 35 years. This can be
done through the contact on the PWA website (www.pwaworldtour.com/).

There will be special ceremony at a chosen event during the year where the
PWA will honor the new inductees.

ISAF SAILOR – RESULTS SOFTWARE AND LINKS TO BIOGRAPHIES
One of the services provided by the recently launched ISAF Sailor is the Online
Biography, which allows sailors of any level to have a biography loaded onto
the website, along with images and campaign website links. The ISAF Sailor Biography
will hopefully mean that the repeated requests sailors receive to complete biographies
for each event, usually in slightly different formats, will become a thing of
the past, with the ISAF Sailor biography able to reduce this duplication and
provide a one-stop online biography available to everybody and kept up-to-date
by the sailors themselves.

To aid media and all other interested persons it must be easy to find the sailor’s
biography. The most common place where people might want to find out about a
sailor is when they see the sailor’s results on an event website, and this can
easily be achieved, by providing a hotlink back to the Sailor’s biography.

Whilst each event organiser can include this extra field to accommodate the
sailor’s biography in their existing results software, ISAF is working with
the provider’s of results software and asking them to make a small change to
their systems to create these fields and hotlinks, so that future software will
incorporate the ISAF Sailor.

For further information on including the fields and the coding required go
to:
http://www.sailing.org/webmaster

To see a sample of links to a sailor’s biography from results, go to the following
link of results from Sail Melbourne – http://www.sailmelbourne.com.au/syc/49er/SGrp1.htm
– and click on Michael Blackburn or Chris Nicholson’s names.

If you just wish to include a link to a sailor’s biography on your website,
for example in a news article, then you are welcome to do so. However, please
note that the bio.html file on the ISAF website has a small piece of javascript
to cause a redirect to an ASP page. It is therefore strongly recommended that
you create links to an ISAF Sailor Biography as follows http://www.sailing.org/bio.html#CANPH
where CANPH is the ISAF Sailor ID.

Coming soon, will be the option to include mini-bios of sailors on your website,
such as your national squad or specific class sailors, including key information
and images, which then links to the full biography on the ISAF Website. Whenever
the sailor updates his or her biography, this update will automatically be transmitted
to the information published on the mini-bio. Full details of this application
will soon be made available, but in the meantime to see an example of a mini-bio
go to: http://www.sailing.org/minibio.asp

ISAF WEBSITE – INCLUDE FILES
Would you like to use the ISAF website world news stories, that appear down
the centre of the front page, the ‘regattas on-line’, or the ‘news ticker’ (the
links that scroll across the top of the page), or the ISAF Racing Rules for
Sailing on your sailing website?

Well you can! What’s more it will not cost you anything and your website will
be automatically updated with the latest news and regattas from around that
world as it is posted onto www.sailing.org

Mistral Asian Junior & Youth Continental Championship
& Raceboard Asian Continental Championship
March 28th -April 5th 2002, Dameisha Beach, Shenzhen, China
Results, reports and photos
http://www.imco.org

After 2 days of measurement, 147 competitors from 7 countries gathered last
night for the opening ceremonies of the 2002 Mistral Asian Continental Championship
being staged here in Shenzhen City, China. First up, was a banquet followed
by a stage show in the open air performed by 600 actors! The Chinese Yachting
Association have gathered an impressive array of sponsors to support this event
which countries are using as a qualifier for the 2002 Asian Games to be staged
in Busan, Korea this autumn. Regional Teams from all over China are taking part
as well as competitors from Hong Kong, Chinese Taipei, Japan, Pakistan, Thailand
and Australia.
Entries include:
MACC

Lightweight Men: 29
Women: 40

Youth Women: 21

Day 1: A light southerly breeze of 5>6 Knots allowed racing to get underway
on schedule today. First
off were the Mistral Juniors followed by the Raceboard fleet both racing on
the outer loop. 3rd to start were the Mistral women (inner loop) and finally
the Mistral men (outer loop). The first two fleets away finished in a dying
breeze however Qu Chun, the race officer, shortened course for the Mistral men
& women at Mark 3 ensuring that the first races for all fleets were saved.

Competitors returned ashore under a one hour postponement. Sadly, the wind never
returned so racing was abandoned for the day. There were no protests.
Day 2/3: No Racing. Light Airs
Day 4: After a long wait, one race for all fleets was successfully completed
in 5 to 6 knots of breeze. In fact Qu Chun called the racers out at about 1330hrs
and held them in the starting area for 2 hours, knowing that when the wind came
it was not going to stay for very long. In fact this was exactly waht happened.
As soon as the last finisher crossed the line, as if by magic the wind disappeared
very quickly. Mercifully, the current such that there was was across the course.

Day 5: A lot of effort was put in by all involved in the infrastructure and
behind the scenes at this big event. This was finally rewarded handsomely by
some good wind! 8>10knots at 0900hrs which built to 12 knots in the afternoon.
The first race of the day was run in semi-planing, mast track forward conditions.
This built to full planing mast track back downwind reaches in the second and
third. A series of 7 races out of a possible 10 max and a therefore a variety
of conditions to test the racers fully. It has been a tough week for the organizers,
especially Qu Chun, the race officer but he has made the right calls.
