Since this would be my first regatta I was wondering about class rules and such at the Outback. Your guidance would be appreciated. My Hobie is an 84 with mostly stock gear. I don't have a comptip. Is this a problem?
Are there other Hobie 16's going to be there?
Also it seems that I have read about a minimum weight for crew (285?), is that something that I need worry about? It might be that I would be single handing, and while I'm heavy I'm not that heavy.
If my son were to crew for me he is only 12 years old. Is his age a problem?

Thanks for your input.
