We are holding a Hobie 16 regatta in Raleigh, NC at Jordan Lake on the first Saturday in November (the 3rd). It will be relatively informal, but will be a lot of fun! Racing will start at Noon at Vista Point on Jordan Lake, and will run until roughly 4:00. We will have hotdogs and hamburgers afterwards. Entry fee: $10/boat. For more info, contact Trey Brown @ (919)-302-0880

Shoot me an email if you are planning on coming or would like more info. There are already 5 H16's that have committed.

I'm thinking I might be able to finish up this 16 by then!

Trey - if it's only 16's, then it could be an HCA event. You can get free regatta insurance (see the HCA-NA.org website for details).

Contact Nora at Hobie Cat (nora(at)hobieco.com), let her know about how many boats will be there & she'll send you a box of swag to hand out.

If you want, I can send you a box of Hotlines, too.

Jake, you'd better bring your A-game!!

I would probably bring the guy that owns the boat - and he's not part of the A-team and he would be helming a good bit. We would be about 380lbs and the boat has original sails from 1981 (that have only been lightly used). We would be there for the beer.

Looks like it's going to conflict with CSC's Midlands Regatta. Maybe we should have it there. I'm sure Jake wouldn't mind it being moved closer to him. Who knows we might even get Power Dave if it's there.

Forget Midlands, I don't even think Multihulls were invited last year (and none showed up). This is gonna be a great event. I've already got 8 H16's on the list and more are coming!

Multihulls were invited last year and according to the NOR they're invited again this year.

Great News:

www.sunjammers.com has stepped up for us and will be sponsoring the regatta! We'll have great prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishers as well as some other great stuff.

This won't be your cookie-cutter regatta. There will be LeMans beach starts, pick your crew and boat from a hat, and several other race formats. $10/boat to enter, and that includes dinner! There are already 10 boats signed up. Don't miss out! Email me if you would like more info: ddbrown (at) ncsu (dot) edu

Wow... what started out to be a local fun outing, looks like will be great event. Loyd and I will both be there on our H16s. He hasn't been on his H16 since we went in together on the F18 a few years ago. It'll be fun to take it to him. At least I can scream at him from a different boat.

There is also camping available at Vista Point for anyone coming from out of town. They only have group camping and there were only a few spots left as of last week, so let me know if you are interest and I can send you info to reserve a spot.

Sounds like fun! I might have to head over to that side of the lake just to see all the action. If the water stays down I might even be able to sail over there, unless anyone needs a crew?

Has there ever been a format where say all 16' cats around portsmouth 76-77 race level? In an area like Raleigh this might be a reasonable option in the future if we wanted to get a local sustained catamaran racing series, I've seen a few Nacra and G-Cat and Prindles around the area (could include Isotopes 2-up as well)

I am keeping this regatta to H16's for this event just to keep the playing field completely level. I've already gotten 13 Hobie 16's signed up, so there are definitely enough in this area to run a fleet (maybe even a series?). I'm sure that I'll try to get an open regatta in at some point next year, but it's just Hobie 16's for the moment.

Hokie, do you know anyone with a 16 that you could borrow/steal?

I don't know anyone (and the one's I could steal I wouldn't want) but it'll be great to see all the Hobie 16's out on the lake!

Don't forget! The Sweet 16 regatta is being held this Saturday at Jordan Lake (Vista Point) just outside Raleigh, NC. 15 hobie 16's are signed up, and there are several more that may show up. Call or email Trey (me) if you have any questions.

15 boats...who wants to be number 16? We've got great prizes for 1st-4th, and a bunch of stuff to give away thanks to www.sunjammers.com and Hobie.

I just wanted to give Trey a big thanks for setting up and running this regatta. I hadn't been on a 16 in many, many years. Really enjoyed the strong wind warm up. It took me 2 races to get the hang of it, and figure out how to read sails with no tell-tales. Great event, much fun. And thanks also to Brad, my impromptu crew. Once we started working well together we were right in the mix, very cool! In the end Trey provided me with a boat and crew, what more could a sailor ask for? Thanks, Thanks, Thanks
