The 2007 calendar is now open.

17:24 | Discards rules are changed in Appendix B of the ISAF Racing Rules since 2005: Before we look at the number of firsts...we first look at the discards. The worse discard goes behind. This rule i sin place for almost 2 years now and it gives credit to the racer that made the fewest mistakes including the normally discarded races. Marco's worst result was a 9, Wilhelm had a 10th place so....
17:23 | For the 2006 FW Ranking this would mean: Jesper Vesterstrom stays first, Gonzalo stays second but Wilhelm jumps over Ross Williams and take sthe third place.

During the last race yesterday, trying to recover from a involuntary jump, Gonzalo twisted his right ankle. He managed to finish first in that race but this morning the ankle is swollen and he prefers not to start.
He has a 10 points lead on number 2 so normally his first place (and the 4.000 dollar) are secured.
