Tips en venn Thomas Guttormsen 

En enorm deltakelse i BIC-VM i år viser at dette er veien å gå for de unge brettseilerne i Norge. NSF har sammen med NBK uttalt at BIC er et satsingsområde og en god inngang til kjølbrett-seiling.

Nå blir det mulig å se brettet på sjøen for alle på KNS sin stand. Der kan du stille spørsmål om brettseiling og finne ut mer om hva som skal til for å starte med BIC.

Under legges ved en oppsummering fra VM i BIC som ble arrangert i Weymouth på OL-banen 2012.

Har du lyst til å seile brett og er usikker på hva som skal til for å begynne tar du kontakt med Thomas Føyen på epost: thomas.foyen@trebuchet.no eller Torstein Hopstock på epost: torstein.hopstock@aleris.no

 

A record 261 young windsurfers, from 25 countries representing 4 continents, have been in action at Weymouth & Portland National Sailing Academy (UK)- the host venue for the 2012 Olympic Sailing Games. The 2009 Techno 293 World Championships, the premier event for junior racers, attracted event debuts for competitors from Argentina, Canada, Greece, Hungary, Japan, Peru, Singapore, Sweden, Turkey, and USA.

The thrill and excitement surrounding participation in the event was summed up by one member of the american team -
"It is very, very exciting being among the first group of young Americans coming through and taking part in this event. We all look up to the top British and European sailors and to be competing at this incredible venue against the best young European sailors is a great test for us and a fantastic experience."

Meanwhile, an experienced spanish sailor summed up the hopes and aspirations on many - "There is nothing better in windsurfing than planing when there is good wind, going really fast, and we hope that we will be doing a lot of planing this week!"

He was not to be dissappointed, although -"Breezes gusting over 40 knots made racing an impossibility on day five.........." This only increased the tension around the race venue as - "It means that the race for the 2009 IWA Junior World Championships titles go down to the wire with all medal positions being decided on what is set to be a thrilling final day of racing ..."

Great Britain's windsurfers are riding a crest of a wave after landing Three of the four World titles up for grabs on the final day of the Championships.

Sam Sills, 16, romped to glory in the Bic Techno Under 17 boys' division while 14-year-old Kieran Martin and Sam's sister Saskia Sills, 13, ensured Britain enjoyed a golden whitewash in the Under 15s', taking the top prize in both the boys' and girls' events at the RYA Events-run Championships.

There was further medal joy for the host nation as Saskia's twin Imogen took Under 15 girls' silver following a ding-dong battle with her sister for the crown all week while Adam Purcell (Under 15 boys)claimed a bronze medal.
