[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.<em>Edited by motivated on Aug 29, 2014 - 07:34 PM.</em> [/quote]
