All the registration information for the 54th Hobie Cat Nationals can be found via the Hobie Cat Nationals Webpage, including the notice of race, schedule of events, local accommodation and things to do around Jervis Bay. Entry for both Series 1 & 2 can be found via their individual regatta pages on the NSWHCA RevSPORT.
Hobie Waves
The Hobie Wave Class at the Australian Championships will be conducted over two rounds. The first round will be held during Series One of the Championships, with the second round taking place during Series Two.
A limited number of charter boats will be available, and sailors bringing their own boats may choose to compete in either round or both.
Results will be determined using a cumulative points system, with sailors from both rounds combined into a single leaderboard to determine the overall Australian National Champion.
Additionally, charter boats will be available for both series. For anyone interested in racing a Wave, H14, H16 and/or H18, please get in touch with the NSWHCA sooner rather than later.
Until then, we strongly encourage sailors to begin searching for accommodation. For any questions, please contact the organiser ASAP.
