ISAF Official Supplier, PSP Worldwide Logistics has published a set of shipping guidelines as part of their commitment to the sport of sailing and the marine industry.

With so many events, classes, manufacturers and teams all needing to transport equipment around the world, PSP is working with ISAF to provide a 'joined-up' and more cost effective, efficient logistics service.

The latest initiative in this partnership has resulted in the production of easy to understand guidelines for everyone from individual sailors to national teams and classes. There is an overview of the services but importantly answers to common questions that ISAF receives from members, helping to make the process as clear and easy as possible.

The preparations for the 2010 RS:X World Windsurfing Championships  are well underway. Windsurfers from many of the world's strongest sailing nations are out training on the water at Kerteminde; the host city of one of the largest sports events on Fünen in 2010, coming up on the other side of the summer.

These days, the bay off the coast of Kerteminde is as vibrant as never before. Windsurf sails from a lot of different nations including Hong Kong, Mexico, Canada and Finland are skimming the sunny waves in the bay at high speed.

Neil Pryde Windsurfing is pleased to announce that the RS:X colored mono-film sails are now available on the open market making them class legal for use in R:X Olympic Windsurfing regattas worldwide.

Tests have shown that these colored sails are much more visible on the water than the old grey mono-film versions. This makes for a more attractive spectacle for the media and spectators not to mention television cameras. The RS:X class is working hard to make it easier for spectators to follow the racing whether they be on site at an RS:X Championships or ISAF Sailing World Cup Event or whether they be watching on computer screens.

The grey monofilm panel on the 9.5 sail has been changed to 'Gold' and on the 8.5 sail has been changed to 'Lipstick Pink'. It should be noted that nothing else has been changed in the construction of the sails so the difference is purely cosmetic.

When ordering, be sure to specify color code 3.

Please note that there is no limitation on the use of colored or grey mono - filmed sails as long as they comply with Class Rule C.9.1.d.

Please note that the LOA of the 2010 RS:X World Windsurfing Championships is offering a special price for the transportation of RS:X equipment from Weymouth (Sail for Gold) to Kerteminde (Worlds). Here are some facts re the transport from Weymouth to Kerteminde.

There will be a  2 person team in place on the quay of Weymouth Friday 13th and Saturday 14th of August 2010 to look after RS:X boards and  rig bags.
