Kip,

The way Div 4 handles less than five boats in a fleet is to race any Hobie, no mater how few. Small groups may and will be started together, but they will NOT be scored together. No times are taken. So the fleets with 1, 2, or 3 boats may start with each other, but are not racing the other class boats. Bring your FX, but you will not be racing any other Hobies.

Mark,

The answers to these questions are clearly laid out. The Waves regatta has a seperate course for the Hobies to sail on. The X-class can sail at Waves, but must be on one of the other courses. There can be no overlapping of any marks, start lines, etc. at the Waves event. Those fleets that were planning fun sails with other classes of boats (including monohull) have been taken off the schedule and will not be allowed to advertise their event in the Division publication.

Bob,

US Sailing insurance is a great program. For a club or active group, it is a no brainer. But what of the fleet that only wants to put on one event. Close to $800 for both on and off the water coverage.
