Where can I find current slalom ranking?
So for men dont exist separtes foil and fin slalom discipline any more?(if that is case AA wouldnt be champ never again,he is to heavy for foil light winds..)
And does this racing inculde upwind courses now?
There is only this event in Croatia run so far (which doesn't rank) so there is no real ranking yet. Potentially the event in France later in the year could happen though ...For 2020 the format for slalom is:
Foil + Slalom (single discipline).
4 boards + 7 sails to register for the year.
The organiser/race committee can decide whether to run foil only races or mixed races. Nobody has come up with a specifically defined "too windy for foil" cutoff point yet and as most guys are comfortable on them up to 20 knots there should be some interesting racing if they ever do some 'mixed' races. Guess we won't really find out this year.
Course racing is dead. They won't do upwind at the PWA ever again I reckon. The foil+slalom format now will just be downwind slalom as they have capped the board width to 91cm for slalom whereas most brand's course racing foil boards are 95-100 so you would never be competitive with a 91. Not sure why (10x more exciting to watch than slalom courses in light winds if you ask me).
