Mail från Andy Brandt till Thierry Verneuil:
Hi Thierry,
Hope you had a good trip back from the Show. I just raced the US
Nationals and got to borrow Jimmy
Diaz” FV1.2 board. Wow. It is awesome, the board is fast and goes
upwind and downwind great. I was using the board with a 10.6 RX1 in
conditions ranging from 12 – 18 mph, and 58 cms techtonics fin. I was
fourth overall, and third in Open behind Phil McGain, and Jimmy Diaz. I
was the only person in the top five using a production board. It rocks.See you in France, Andy
P.S. Can’t wait until I get mine!
PPS. Special thanks to Jimmy!!

Subject: U.S. NationalsHi Benoit,
I just returned to Maui from the U.S. National Championships in Maryland.
We had quite a good event over there with about 60 competitors from all over
the country. We ended up doing 8 course races in very light winds (9.9
sails). I ended up finishing in second place after Phil McGain. We had a
very close regatta in which he won 4 races and got 3 2nds. I won three
races and got 4 seconds. He beat me by 1.25 points.I raced my custom board but I took the FV12 from the photo shoot here in
Hawaii to try out. I am very impressed with this board! This is the first
production board that is even close to the very best course boards. I tried
it agains Robert on Maui during the photo shoot and it went considerable
better than his course board. I have also tried it against other sailors on
custom boards in a variety of conditions (6 knots – 25 knots) and it is very
competitive. I have not been able to try it yet against the Starboard but I
would be very surprised if the FV12 is not as fast or faster. I let Andy
Brandt race this board in the Nationals and he finished fourth overall and
third in the open category. The board is very impressive especially
considering its weight. It weighs 20 lbs (9kgs) compared to a 13 lbs (6kgs)
custom board yet is remarkably close in performance. I believe this board
can be very successful. I am very anxious to take it to South America.I am considering going to the Formula Worlds in Thailand as I have
confidence that this board has the potential to win the event.I will be in
Maui for at least three weeks.Best Regards,
Jimmy

Maxad bräda, men lite mer teknisk info tack, volym, längd etc.
Vad kommer den att kosta?
Och när kommer den till Sverige ?
Förra året var det väl sisådär med utlovade leveranstider. -
Formula Windsurfing rules set planing as soon as 7 knots of wind. Fabien Vollenweider and Fabien Pendle have designed the FV1.2 to plane as early as 6 knots of wind. This board is the absolute weapon to win a Formula Windsurfing race. Above its exceptional performances, the FV1.2 gives a brand new feeling. It’s sails high on the water and the contact area with water is very short. On all courses, the FV1.2 pushes further the limits of light wind sailing. It has no challenger today.
Anatomy of an exceptionnal board
Maximum width : 87,5 cm. With this very large width, sails up to 11 m2 and fins up to 60 cm can be used. Its planing ability and top speed potential downwind and up wind are unbeatatble today.
Reduced width on top ends : at 60cm of the back, it is only 62 cm wide, so the FV1.2 is very fast and stays controlable even at the highest speed upwind and downwind, the decisive courses in Formula Windsurfing. High raised scoop. With such big dimensions, a very special scoop has been designed to keep control of this machine. The board is sailing high on the water and contact area with chop is very limited. An exceptionnal feeling.
The accelerations are fantastic and control is perfect : when the board is planing, it reacts like a much narrower board. It’s 60 cm long fin provides a high upwind speed/angle ratio and it never looses speed even in the deepest lulls.
6 mm x 16cm steps + flap : this appendice and shape parts reduce the water contact area and avoid the spinout.
Concave deck : it creates of a Venturi effect which tackle the board on the water while going upwind. It does not fly anymore.
Bevels on the front part : they lower shocks while overtaking the waves on the reaches.

Teknisk info har Nik redan svarat på. Vi får första brädan lagom till mässan i Stockholm i slutet av nästa vecka(9-12:e nov)sedan bör vi kunna få in brädan rullande from årsskiftet. Förhoppningsvis ännu tidigare. Leveransproblemen förra året berodde på branden i Cobra fabriken. Vi hoppas på bättre flyt denna säsong.

, sails up to 11 m2 and fins up to 60 cm can be used….ehhh, 60cm är på tok för litet i lättvind!! Redan i år använde vi 65-70 fenor i SWT!
-
Hej Jocke !
Enligt mina papper öppnar mässan 9/11 inte 6/11 , är det så jäkligt att jag har fel!?Nik TS
-
Du har rätt. Jag har skrivit fel. Mässan är mellan 9-12november!

Fenstorleken i wc cupen ligger runt 60cm i lättvind,enligt säkra källor finns det ingen anledning att köra med djupare fena,snarare en bättre fena.trots att vindgränsen är snarlik den i wc cupen seglar dom bästa seglarna med 9,6-9,8 m2.vi svenska amatör seglare har en del att lära av wc eliten.
-
Har hört att bic brädan är ett fullblod,och att den är identisk med Kevin`s lättvinds bräda och minns jag rätt vann kevin ett race på Grancanaria med nästan 5 minuter över övriga Wc deltagare.
-
hihihihihi
-
Tror dock inte att den är identisk med Kevins bräda eftersom jag lästa att hans bräda var ca 80-83cm bred på GC.
-
Kolla in forum.gaastra.com där kan ni läsa sanningen om hur mkt Kevin har seglat Bicen. Mike Zajicek bygger och shapar Kevins brädor dvs inte bics shaper.
-
Kevin har decignat den nya brädan och vem som shapat den spelar mindre roll.
-
hhhmmmmm, Följande står på Bic`s hemsida:
…..Fabien Vollenweider and Fabien Pendle have designed the FV1.2…….
Så Kevin lär inte ha haft något att göra med denna bräda.
-
Mycket snack om Formula brädor är det och mer lär det bli. Det enda som står klar är att VM i Formula kommer snart och då lär vi få se vilken bräda som är bäst…

Lite skvaller saxat från Gaastras forum.
__________This weekend we had our nationals in Holland. The new fanatic courseboard was just released and the fanatic teamriders used it. It’s 90 cm wide. We had 2 days of courseracing in wind between 20-34 knots. Ben van der Steen won almost every race with his 90cm board, 64 Deboichet fin and 9.0 ART sail. The team riders all agreed that the board was good in highwinds.
_______________
I want to order fin’s for my new courseboard. It will be the biggest AHD. That’s probably going to be 93 cm. But which sizes to order? I own a 60 cm Deboichet and I’am thinking about a 64 and a 58 or something. The sizes I’am going to sail with are 10.9, 9.8, and 9.0.
___________
I heared AHD will get 93 cm. It won’t be(officially) ready for the worlds.
______________
Some new models I checked in the web:
Drops FL12 and Drops FL13. The latest is 88cm wide!
