Windsurfing Race Classes

Race classes may vary depending on the number of participants in any given race event. Commonly used ways to partition the participants into classes are the following:

  • Type of Equipment
    • Open: Includes anything.
    • Formula: No daggerboard. Limited to three sails registered prior to the race.
    • Hybrid: Has a daggerboard, but the windsurf board is limited to a maximum length of 328cm (11ft).
    • Manufacturer Specific (e.g., Kona, Prodigy, Techno).
  • Gender
    • Male
    • Female
  • Age
    • Seniors: Over 60 (proposed new class)
    • Masters: Over 50.
    • Junior: Under 18.
  • Skill Level
    • A-Fleet: Advanced skills 
    • Sport: Intermediate skills.
    • Workshop: Beginners


Sail Numbers

Sail numbers uniquely identify the vessel (and its ownership/sailor). In order for the sail number to be unique, it must be registered with the official agency for that type of vessel. In the case of windsurfers, the official agency is U. S Windsurfing. As part of your membership in U. S. Windsurfing you are assigned an official sail number. You may request your own personalized sail number which can be any alphanumeric combination. If you are sailing on "the tour" then you must use the appropriate national designation as part of your sail number (US or USA for the United States).

For tour competition, sail numbers should be 25cm (10 inches) high, black on a white background, and on both sides of the sail.

Vinyl sail numbers can be purchased at most sign shops, but can run into a bit of money and are a little challenging to mount onto a sail. The best way is to first spray the sail area with water so that you can move the character around, then squeegee the water from under the character using a nylon/plastic squeegee (not for the faint of heart).

For casual sailors like most of us, simply use a Sharpie Permanent Marker to draw the characters on the sail. I recommend black only (had trouble getting a uniform coat with red or blue) and strongly recommend the "Magnum" (has a fairly wide tip). Working directly on a sail can be a little inconvenient, so consider buying white contact paper and creating your sail number on the contact paper, then stick the contact paper on your sail (also comes off the sail fairly easily when you go to sell it at the swap). If you only put the number on one side (as most of us do), then it should be on the starboard side.

If your freehand drawing is a poor as mine and you want something that looks a little more professional, then buy a set of stencils at an office supply store. The largest I was able to find was 6 inches. I use masking tape to put together the stencil characters to form my sail number, then tape the stencil to the contact paper. Then use a finer point Sharpie to trace the outline of the stencil. Then remove the stencil and fill in the outlined characters using the Magnum. A well ventilated room is recommended...
