Formula 42?
 

Hi all, can someone please explain to me what is the concept/ course design of Formula 42? Thanks in advance.

Hi Nifty,

Formula 42 was 1 Race-Board and 1 slalom board + 4 sails, but I presume that you are talking about slalom 42.

Do close to be the same but 2 slalom boards with 4 sails.

The bigger board can not be over 80cm wide while the sail can not bigger than 10m.

All the best

Hi Remi, yes, I think it's slalom 42 I'm thinking of. My question is what kind of course is it? Is there some upwind legs and then downwind slalom or what?

RE: Formula 42?
 

I've read in the rules that only a 20% of slalom race can be upwind, but in fact I think the most common is 8 figure, M figure downwind and long distance.

Ok, thanks. So there can be some upwind, depending on...location, wind direction & strength...
