Dave,

Yes, the local fleets can do what they want, but they can not use the Hobie name, emblem, etc. in any of their NOR's or regatta flyers. It was suggested that noncompliant fleets can not include events in Division regatta books or schedules. They also can not take advantage of the regatta insurance program. Divisions that do not comply will not be allowed to send individuals to North American Championships (according to IHCA President). The theme is that Big Brother is now watching, and they will prosecute any violations.
