[quote=motivated]I have some questions about this event. I'm bringing a Hobie 16, may not get down there to get warmed up till Friday.
1. I presume all of the boats will be racing together and the times will be handicapped (aside from the Hobie Waves). Is it a beach or water start?
2. All the races I've done have been rather informal. What's this one like? Is this serious, head's down racing or more of a fun race?
3. I just finished watching replays of the 2013 America's Cup. There were lots of rules (boundaries, who has right of way when overlapped, etc.). Do I need to study up on all of these rules and such?
4. Does anyone remember the course? Is it an "out and back" or does it have multiple gates/bouy turns?
5. How many boats show up for this event? Any idea how many Hobie 16's?
6. I have a spinnaker. Are there any penalties handed out for cheating (j/k)?
Thanks in advance. Any other tips and tricks would be greatly appreciated.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by motivated on Aug 29, 2014 - 07:34 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
