All you pilots are invited to Bentu de Sardinia 2012, a sort of Italian Championship open to every landsailing and powerkite enthusiast. The event will be held from the 7th to the 9th of September not far from Cagliari, in Sardinia (the island south of Corsica). The place (39°14’44.10″N; 9° 00’43.90″E) is very hard and fast, pretty similar to the playa at Ivanpah. This is what I mean
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6c-FAUfhstYRaces are open to Class 8 and to landyachts with 3 Classes: FISLY MINIYACHT 5.60 (I guess you know the rules), PROMO 8.50 (same rules of Minis - no wing mast, max wheels 400x8 - but in a 8.50 m rope so a Promo can fit in) and OPEN (or unlimited, sail everything you want outside Minis and Promos 8.50).
Wonderful beaches at 15 minutes driving, great food and wine with a huge saturday night dinner. For staying are available accomodations in camping, B&B or hotel. For any further information follow
