| Racing to jibe mark |
The wind was light to moderate on a fast slalom course which meant the start, each tack, and each jibe were critical.
The competitors did a good job of maintaining their boat speed while rounding the jibe marks downwind. One slip up and the competitor behind you was sure to overtake you!

And there's now a new Windsurfer One Design in Miami thanks to Tomas --who runs the Junior Program at the yacht club -- who bought a Windsurfer One Design.

Well said Franz, One Design sailing is about skill, not equipment and who can pump the hardest. And of course having a good time!
