Dave: You can follow much of what is going on with Hobies at the HCA website: HCA-NA.org. Under major championships there are stories and links to the event websites. Matt is the New Hobie 17 North American Champion. Matt was in front by a large margin on the last day and I was going to post a message and then remembered "The pitcher is throwing a no-hitter" curse and just waited. Sure enough the blog reports he was in a collision and flipped. Breaking the boat was the only way to lose. He recoverd and went on to win by a wide margin. Matt, I would like to hear what happened. P.S Matt also got second in the 14's
