Italian
Formula Windsurfing Class welcomes all
foreign competitors to Italian Formula
Windsurfing Open National Championships
that will be run in Chiessi, a wonderful
and tiny village in Elba Island, the pearl
of Tuscania Archipelago, from Tuesday June
1st to Saturday June 5th. For the first
time ever, as requested by Italian Sailing
Federation, our national championships
will be an one-event series. So best
competitors from all over Italy will
gather Elba Island, that in the last four
years has already been the spot of
important FW national competitions, in
order to race for titles of Italian
Champion in Male, Female, Master and
Grandmaster divisions.
As usual Italian FW Championships is an
open event, but foreign competitors have
to become member of our national
association (Euro 65 male and female or
Euro 38 youth under 20) and to bring their
national membership card with the relevant
medical certificate. Third party liability
insurance for this event is included in
Italian FW Class Membership.
Please read carefully the following news,
with accomodation range and daily program.
Travelling to Elba Island is an exciting
time. Being part of National Park of
