Hangzhou 19 Asian Games sailing competition rules are as follows:
Sailing and windsurfing competitions are required to be held in the open sea, and the distance from the coast should be 0.5~2 kilometers. Due to the constant changes of wind direction, wind speed, meteorology, hydrology and other conditions, the competition venue will be adjusted and arranged in the designated area. When the ship bypassed all the prescribed signs and reached the finish line according to the prescribed voyage, the race was over.
Sailing and windsurfing competitions are divided into different categories according to the types and models of sailboats recognized by international sailing and windsurfing organizations. Each event has multiple rounds of competitions. The first place in each round gets 1 point, the second place gets 2 points, the third place gets 3 points, and so on. On the last match day, there is usually a round of award ceremony. The 10 ship with the best performance in each event enters the medal round, and the medal round uses double points.
Finally, add up the ranking scores of each sailboat in each round, and the one with the least total score wins. Sometimes, due to weather conditions, it is allowed to reduce the number of rounds.
Windsurfing is introduced as follows:
Windsurfing is a new water sports windsurfing project between sailing and surfing. Windsurfing consists of a board with stabilizer, a mast with universal joint, a sail and a mast. Athletes use natural wind to blow on the sails.
Standing on the surfboard, the sail is controlled by the mast to make the valve plate run at a certain speed on the water surface, and the water surface is opened by changing the wind center of the sail and the center of gravity of the surfboard. Because of its close relationship with surfing, it is also called windsurfing or windsurfing.
Windsurfing originated in the Hawaiian Islands, a world surfing resort in the late 1960s. 1in June, 970, Hugh Vance, an American surfer computer technician, designed and manufactured the world's first windsurfing board with a universal joint and obtained a patent right. Since then, windsurfing fever has risen rapidly in the local area and soon spread to Europe, Oceania and Southeast Asia.
