BLUESCOPE RACE WINDSURF SURFACE WATER SPORT
La Bluescope Race est le plus grand rassemblement de Nouvelle-Calédonie de passionnés de glisse ! Le parcours nautique de 19.4 km s'étire de l'îlot du phare Amédée jusqu'à l'anse Vata à Nouméa.
La planche à voile est un type d'embarcation à voile minimaliste constituée d'une simple planche insubmersible, ou flotteur, et d'un gréement articulé à la planche par la base du mât.
La planche à voile se caractérise par la position debout de son pratiquant nommé "véliplanchiste" et par l'absence de gouvernail et d'écoutes. C'est le véliplanchiste qui soulève puis maintient le mat et la voile en position active, s'orientant sur l'eau en inclinant d'avant en arrière le gréement, ou en changeant ses appuis sur la planche.

The rig is connected to the board by a free-rotating universal joint and consists of a mast, boom and sail. The sail area generally ranges from 2.5 m2 to 12 m2 depending on the conditions, the skill of the sailor, the type of windsurfing being undertaken and the weight of the person windsurfing.
