[quote]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.


No problem, no problem, and no problem.


You'll find some single handers and kid crews. I had my 8 year old daughter crew with me on my H16 at the Hatteras Regatta last month. It was great to get her on the boat. There will be plenty of folks around to help you with rigging, advice, etc. The sailing club also has plenty of room for camping. Glad you can make it.
