ISAF has selected the Byte CII as equipment for two of the four sailing events at the 2010 Youth Olympic Games to be hosted by Singapore.

This first-ever Youth Olympic Games is expected to attract about 3,200 young athletes who will compete across the complete range of Olympic sports. The sailing competition in Singapore will feature young sailors between the ages of 15-16 years, racing in four different events. The Byte CII was unanimously recommended as the equipment for the one person dinghy boys and one person dinghy girls events. 

There's still time to take advantage of the $1 Byte CII charters offered at CORK & Youthfest this summer. Only 5 are left.

The Byte Class is sponsoring a series of regattas in the CII this summer to showcase the CII rig. There are large numbers of Byte sailors who own the rig but who still only sail the Standard rig, either because their Provincial Associations do not recognize the CII or there are not CII starts planned in various events. That will change this summer. The Class is sponsoring three free trips to the World’s in Weymouth in August after CORK, plus a free Charter boat. The trips will go to the winner of the Canadian Youths 16 and under, the winner of the CII Grand Prix and the top 17-and-over finisher at CORK.
