Hobie 16 Worlds registration information

For the Hobie sailors attending the Hobie 16 Worlds we have some important news and updates.

The most important news is the boats are built and, on the beach, waiting for you. The following news and information will help you sail through the registration process smoothly.

After you enter the Club de Vela La Ballena Alegre approximately 15 metres on the left side, you will see two large Hobie flags. This is the location for the registration office.

The registration hours are:

• The first question you will be asked is about third-party liability insurance. If you have valid insurance, great you can proceed. If you don’t you can purchase onsite at the Info centre.
  
  

• Each competitor under 18 years old on 15th September 2022 must bring the original signed document from their parent or guardian to the registration. This is a legal requirement and without this original signed form, we cannot allow you to race. Notice of Race 5
• Every sailor is required to be a member of a Hobie Class Association. Each region is supplying us with their current membership. We are sorry but if your name is not on the list you will need to pay to be a member of the Hobie Class at registration. Notice of Race 4 and IHCA General Rule 26
• Sailors are required to bring their personal flotation device (PFD)/life jacket that meets the requirements of IHCA General Rule 8.1 with them to registration. Notice of Race 12
• If you don’t meet the minimum crew weight required by IHCA Hobie 16 Rule 7, you must bring your own crew weights to registration. It is your requirement to supply the weights as the organisers will not be supplying any weights. Notice of Race 12
• We also require a photo ID for the boat deposit to collect the boat deposit.
• The compulsory skippers meeting will be held 1 hour after the closing of registration on the last day for that series at the stage area near the pool.
