These State Titles are only the Hobie 16 (Open, Masters and Grand Masters), Hobie 18, Tigers and Wildcats.

Hobie H16 Women and Youth teams can of course compete in the open class (we are still offering a discount to youth entries).

All other HOBIE Class boats are encouraged to attend, however, they will compete in the miscellaneous fleet and no State Titles will be awarded for these classes.

This series is part of the NSW HOBIE TRAVELLER SERIES

The State Titles regatta for Hobie 14s, H16 Youth and H16 Women will be sailed at Vincentia Sailing Club on the 9th and 10th of February 2019

Many of the people that sail H14s also sail H16s. A lot of women and youth are regularly crewing for others and don't get the chance (or have a boat) to skipper themselves. By providing a separate event for these classes at the recent Hervey Bay Nationals, it gave a lot of people the chance to sail H14 & H16, or Womens and Open - with different skippers/crews.

The NSW Hobie Association wants to see ALL HOBIE classes grow, and this is a great way to grow the 16, Women and Youth fleets without hurting the other fleets. It is also a perfect opportunity for all the Hobie family to get together for another weekend of sailing, and socialising.
