What is the Bic Techno 293?
The Techno 293 One Design Class is one of the most dynamic windsurfing classes and possibly the fastest growing One-Design Class.
If you want to race with a good group of people, in a fun, low cost Class, the Techno 293 OD is the board for you! In May 2007, the Techno became an ISAF International Class for young sailors less than 17 years of age. Since then it has experienced rapid expansion worldwide with new countries and sailing federations - including Yachting Australia - choosing the Techno 293 OD to assist in the development of their youth windsurfing and sailing programs.
In Sopot, Poland over 200 sailors competed at the 2008 World Championships. The Techno 293 OD is today the largest windsurfing fleet in the world, a breeding ground for tomorrow's champions! The Techno is the class selected by Yachting Australia as the Youth Sailboard for the Australian Youth Championships held each year.
