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.

| - 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)

Like in 1984, the supplied equipment was rotated daily (except for the rigs). (en)
