..hOBIEWORLDCHAMP cANCELLED!!

Monday February 2 - 2009 - Check it out. Hobie isn't holding their World Championship event this year. Here's their release.

It is with deep regret that the IHCA Executive announces there will not be a Hobie 16 World Championship in 2009. The IHCA Executive, proposed hosts and manufacturers have worked diligently on several different sites but were not able to finalize any of the bids. Most recently a possible bid for Italy was being worked on but unfortunately the world economic downturn has made it impossible for the IHCA to guarantee a world class event that our sailors expect.

While there will not be a Hobie 16 Worlds for 2009 already we have received inquiries for hosting a 2010 Hobie 16 World Championship. The IHCA has also received a very strong bid for the Hobie Tiger and Dragoon Worlds for2010.

The European Hobie Class Association has now announced that they will incorporate the Hobie 16 in their European Championships. The Hobie Europeans will be from 1 until 8 August 2009 at Lake Como in Italy. We would like to thank the European Hobie Class Association for now including the full Hobie 16 racing in their championships. For full information on the European Hobie Championships will be found at their website.
