COUNTDOWN TO THE GAMES: 67 DAYS TO GO
When the International Sailing Federation (ISAF) announced in 2004 that the equipment used in the Olympic Games would be changed for 2008, selection trials, under the direction of the ISAF were conducted with the objective of choosing a new class of windsurfer. Against a wide range of alternatives, the NeilPryde RS:X was selected to be the new Olympic Windsurfer Class. With just 67 days to go until the RS:X will see its debut in Olympic competition, now is an opportune time to reflect on the first three years of RS:X sailing, events and organisation.
