High performance from 5 to 30 knots

One Design racing has never been as dynamic as it is today. Youngsters under 17 years of age all race on the Techno 293, as a progression towards the Olympic board. However, there has been a need for a new, efficient and affordable board on which youngsters can continue to race after they reach the age of 17 (the age limit for the Techno 293). Bic Sport's new Hybrid arose out of this need. The Hybrid is designed to be fast in a very wide wind range of 5 to 30 knots, with its' performance it is now teasing international racing organisations. The Bic Hybrid is not only a raceboard for youngsters. It is also an all round and easy-to-use board for leisure sailing and funboarding for windsurfers of all ages and experience levels.

 

ALL ROUND PERFORMANCE

Under 10 knots of wind
The Hybrid sails like a little raceboard. Thanks to its length and volume distribution, the board glides through the water. The position of the mast foot and the angle of the daggerboard allow options for fine tuning. Pumping is made easy thanks to the boards balance and ease of control.

Over 10 knots of wind
The Hybrid sails more like a Formula board with quick reactions, powerful acceleration and high top end speed. The sailing style is therefore much more short board orientated with easy control a key feature.

BIC Hybrid is the Youth World Raceboard Champion !!! (09/08/2006)

 

We are pleased to announce that the BIC Hybrid is the new Youth World Raceboard Champion! At the latest Youth Windsurf Championships in Marsala, Sicily, the BIC Hybrid finished with very successful results of 1st & 2nd place, and 5 boards in the top 10!!

 

With a total of 50 competitors in the raceboard competition, and a total of 11 races completed (including 2 discards), the BIC Hybrid completely dominated the racing which was mainly conducted in 8-12 knots of wind. The BIC Hybrid also proved its true all round qualities as it remained competitive in the stronger winds of up to 15 knots allowing the leaders to maintain their overall position in the final races.

Main Aims

  1. Designed for all age groups (weight > 65 kg).
  2. Able to race in a large wind range: 5 - 30 knots.
  3. Efficient, fast and powerful in non-planing conditions.
  4. Planing starts in 10 knots of wind.
  5. Designed for race programs

 

  1. Designed for juniors and seniors
    - Volume, width and rail thickness are of moderate size, + a deep V = the board is easy to control even in strong winds.
  2. Able to race in a large wind range: 5 - 30 knots.
    - Length of over 3 metres + moderate volume = performance in very light winds and easy to control in the strong winds.
    - Rails are tapered at the front of the board = smooth ride in rough water conditions (no catching!).
    - 5 adjustable mast track positions allow for maximum tuning in any conditions.
    - 70 cm retractable daggerboard : performance and control on all tacks.
  3. Efficient, fast and powerful in non-planing conditions
    - Moderate width (82cm) + upwind step = easy to rail the board when sailing upwind.
    -With a low rocker the board sits low on the water, gliding through the water in light winds, especially downwind with pumping.
    - The marked V at the stern allows the board to sail comfortably through the chop in light winds, and promotes early planing and good rail grip close to the wind.
  4. Planing starts in 10 knots of wind
    - In 10 knots of wind, the Hybrid starts to plane thanks to its tight scoop from stern to daggerboard (115 cm). The marked V at the stern progressively increases towards the front of the board further promoting early planing and providing comfort in the chop.

Designed for race programs
- All-purpose shape, retractable daggerboard and adjustable mast track = able to perform equally well in all types of races even in the lightest of wind.
- Large width one foot off the tail = able to handle a 65 cm fin = giving great results in the performance / course / speed ratio
