Chris Blackburn, who leads British Youth Sailing's windsurfing programme, said: "The recognition of the iQFOiL youth equipment as our youth windfoiling class is an exciting milestone in the development of our foiling youth pathway. It gives clarity to the sailors currently looking to transition to windfoiling as well as those sailors already windfoiling. "With the development of the International class, the iQFOiL youth equipment promises to deliver competitive one design foil racing both domestically and also Internationally for our youth sailors to continue to develop their foiling and racing skills." The iQFOiL youth equipment puts U19 sailors on an 8m sail, 85cm wide iQFOiL Youth board and IQ aluminium foil making an ideal platform to not only develop key foiling skills but also key racing skills on a platform that will be appropriate for sailors' size and skill with some highly competitive international racing.
