Have a read people and get prepared

I would suggest having the Hull length under 1700mm, so specialist, super
light wind boards are not used.

whats 10mm difference make ? 1710mm max length IKSA trying to follow the IKA as much as possible SO we can get support form the IKA 1700 boards are huge try riding them in Irish waters nightmare The second race as the guy where all on normally TT with boots casue it was waves and didn't want to lose board

Only cause the bigger light wind specific boards are 170. Lots of people have big kites but not many have big specialist boards. If wind is light they will have a massive advantage. Was thinking of the "racing for the masses" principle.
