The Notice of Race for this year's European Championship is now published.

This year's event promises to be a true 'festival of windsurfing' and a main feature of the famous World Festival on the Beach.  The Mistral Europeans kicks off the windsurfing programme, which concludes with the Sicily Grand Prix.

The 2006 championship is an all inclusive festival of Mistral one design racing - seniors will be joined by junior, youth and masters divisions; and by the Mistral Prodigy, one design 'hybrid' racing at its best.

Although published as a Pre-NoR,  entry forms are available, and you can register your pre-entry on line via the IWA website.

Final notice will be published shortly - the organisrs are finalising additional sponsorship deals and expect to offer some attractive benefits for competitors; and full details will be made available of the charter arrangements for One Design and Prodigy boards.
