The Mistral One Design Class (MOD) was chosen by the International Sailing Federation (ISAF), the governing body of sailing, as the windsurfing equipment (man and woman) for use at the Olympic Regatta in Savannah 1996, Sydney 2000 and Athens 2004.[1] No other windsurfing class has been selected for three Olympic Regattas in succession so far.

The MOD was first produced in 1989. Worldwide, there are more than 30,000 build since. They are light and tough. In the right hands, they can be sailed in windspeeds of between 5 - 35 knots depending on sea conditions.
