The 1988 Olympics,^[1] saw the introduction of Lechner Division II boards. The Division II class used a 6.5 m sail and were round bottomed boards designed for upwind sailing in light to moderate winds.

Although they were difficult to sail downwind and a technical board to sail upwind, they are still the fastest 370 cm (12 ft) board upwind in up to 8 kn (4 m/s) of breeze. The contest for the Olympic board had been between the Davidson (a Swedish design) and the Lechner built in Austria. The final Olympic rig was available less than a year before the Olympics.

Like in 1984, the supplied equipment was rotated daily (except for the rigs).
