The 1988 Olympics, saw the introduction of Lechner Division II boards. The Division II class used a 6.5 m sail and were round bottomed boards designed for upwind sailing in light to moderate winds. Although they were difficult to sail downwind and a technical board to sail upwind, they are still the fastest 370 cm (12 ft) board upwind in up to 8 kn (4 m/s) of breeze. The contest for the Olympic board had been between the Davidson (a Swedish design) and the Lechner built in Austria. The final Olympic rig was available less than a year before the Olympics.

  • The 1988 Olympics, saw the introduction of Lechner Division II boards. The Division II class used a 6.5 m sail and were round bottomed boards designed for upwind sailing in light to moderate winds. Although they were difficult to sail downwind and a technical board to sail upwind, they are still the fastest 370 cm (12 ft) board upwind in up to 8 kn (4 m/s) of breeze. The contest for the Olympic board had been between the Davidson (a Swedish design) and the Lechner built in Austria. The final Olympic rig was available less than a year before the Olympics. Like in 1984, the supplied equipment was rotated daily (except for the rigs). (en)
  • Voor de Olympische zeilwedstrijden van 1988 in Pusan werd de Division II zeilplank geïntroduceerd. Evenals zijn voorganger de Windglider voerde de Division II een grootzeil van 6,7m². De plank had een rondebodem waardoor de plank moeilijk te zeilen was maar het zeer goede zeileigenschappen had in licht- tot middenweer. De zeilplanken werden tijdens de spelen door de organisatie ter beschikking gesteld. Mast en zeilen werden eenmalig toegewezen. De planken werden dagelijks herverdeeld onder de deelnemers. (nl)
