International jury of the ispo DuPont BrandNew Awards Summer 2001 chooses 'blokart' as the Summer Hardware winner at ispo 21-24 July 2001 More than 100 entries from all over the world reached the jury of the ispo DuPont BrandNew Awards Summer 2001. The large number of competitors and the variety of products from different fields, the likes of which had never been seen before, did not make it easy for the nine jurors from industry and media to select the winners in the categories Summer Hardware, Sportswear, Sportswear Accessories and Others. The ispo DuPont BrandNew Awards are for young, innovative, imaginative, future-oriented and usable brands and products in the sports sector. The winners of the various categories benefit from a free stand at ispo, the world's largest trade fair for sports equipment and fashion in Munich, as well as marketing support and an invaluable media presence, which helps the young companies to launch their new products onto the market. The winner of the "Summer Hardware" category was the New Zealand product "blokart", a cross between a land sailer and a go-kart. It is made of steel and fibreglass, is extremely durable, safe and light, simple to use and uncomplicated to transport. With a total weight of only 25kg, the entire piece of sports equipment with mast and sail is easily stored or transported and can be assembled in just few minutes. On the beach or cordoned-off grounds, the "blokart" can reach speeds of up to 90 km/h. "The blokart is compact and perfect in every detail. It is almost unbelievable that you can reach speeds of up to 90 km/h with nothing but wind power", says jury member Benjamin de Diesbach, Promostyl Paris. The six winners as well as the other 36 finalists of the ispo DuPont BrandNew competition for young entrepreneurs, selected by the jury from the many applicants, will be presented to the international public in Hall A1 at ispo 2001 Summer on the Munich trade fair grounds from July 21st to 24th 2001.
