Dear Hobie 14 sailors,
As a result of the recent IHCA Rules Committee proposals, we received many excellent suggestions and recommendations. From these, Hobie Cat Company is testing some of the recommendations on Hobie 14s to ensure they meet the high quality we all expect from Hobie products.
The IHCA Rules Committee and Hobie Cat Company will review the outcomes of these tests. Should this call for further changes to the Hobie 14 class rules, the aim is to post them for comments in early 2025. Stay tuned.
As said a couple of times before, we are fully aware of the challenges related to Hobie 14 Rules 3.4 and 3.5. Hence, the Rules Committee has prepared interim exemptions and modifications to support the transition and minimise the negative effects on HC14 class racing activities that the current class rules and the implementation of the updated rules may have. This is in combination with potential new solutions from Hobie Cat Company.
