Hobie 16’s and Juniors racing Hobie Dragoons. There are also trophies for Youth, Women’s and Masters in the Hobie 16 class.
The event is organised and hosted by the Royal Channel Islands Yacht Club. There are 6 qualifying races over the two day event to find the Champions in the class categories. The bright Hobie sails will provide a mass of colour in St. Aubin’s bay, showcasing the main Hobie event of the year in the Channel Islands.
