Hi Bob... Could you say more... eg target time.. 45 minutes, 60 minutes, 75 minutes?

The reason I ask is, given the size and competition of the NA Hobie 16 Fleet... How long of a race is needed to sort out the fleet based on skill and not luck?

The course geography will impact the PRO's ability to manage the competition.. (eg.. can't get to the lay line on one tack... max weather leg is 1 miles etc etc)... How does that impact the time and number of races in the pre planning stage?



Ding Ding... Managing everyone's expectations is critical for everyone to go away happy... If you know that 4 races are schedulued.. you can plan for it or choose to not attend.


Final question, Should the championhship schedule be set at less then the maxium number of races per day (4) times the number of days (4) or 16 races based on your proposal?
Lots of other classes seem to set the championship on 10 or 12 races for a perfect regatta.
