LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
BIG DUDES UNITE!
Dear Sandy:
The undersigned are appealing
to you and the Hobie Class
Association to establish a whole
new "FUN FLEET" of Hobie 14
sailors that would be known as"The
Orca Fleet" or some such
appropriate name.
At the present time, in both our
society and our Hobie 14 racing,
it is somewhat discouraging to
weigh over 180 pounds. This is true
even though the mental image of
ourselves is one of dynamic rippling
muscle on a big-boned large frame.
IRarely the true case!) Thereason for
this is that the *11#X*?!?*11 superbly
conditioned 140 to 170 pound
athletes of both sexes breeze by us
in a race as if we hadoursea anchors
dragging. Never is it because they
are superior.sailors!! Neverf,1
As we conceive it, the Hobie Class
Association worldwide would
disband the Hobie 14C Fleet moving
all "C" Fleeters up to "B". To take
the place of "C" would come the
FUN FLEET to end all FUN FLEETS
-"THE ORCA FLEET."
A«1
Z.,
V
DANGER
Extreme caution
must he observed
when launching and
sailing near overhead wires. A mast
near a wire could
be fatal!
Membership would be easy.
People interested in FUN-male or
female-(preferably the latteril )
would be eligible providing they
agreed to participate in all "ORCA"
events carrying 185 pounds
184 kilos) or more on the trampoline.
The balance of the rules would be
your regular Hobie rules.
Symbol of the fleet would be a
stylized whale (with a beard if you
wish!) with the Hobie"H", of course,
still reigning supreme.
Sandy-think of the possibilities
for FUN! Instead of training by
jogging, Weight lifting and jerking,
we could train by driving to the
Golden Arches and gorging on a Big
Mac and two Egg MacMuffins
topped off by a gallon of BaskinRobbins finest ice cream! Instead of
non-fat milk before a big race-a six
pack of "Bud" or a dozen "Clubs"!
Instead of salads, lean meat and
fish-lasagna and french bread!
Finally-and the clincher-instead
of sitting in the committee boat and
blowing your brains out on j,our
little whistle-you, too. could be
competitive againt!
It could become the greatest Hobie
fleet of themall.Aplace foreveryone
to aspire to! Do you like the idea?
Will the rest of Hobie Land support
"ORCA"? We'd sure like to get
your answer and get some input
from potential "ORCAS" from all
over the world.

Dear Editor:
Now that Citizen Band Radios
are becoming more common, I would
like to suggest someways that Hobie
Catters can use them to help each
other.
I recently arrived at a weekend
regatta on an inland lake late on a
Friday and was unable to locate
any of my fellow Fleet 87ers. I made
camp for the night by myself only
to have to pull up stakes the
next day. The commodore [who also
has a C.B.) and I agreed that our
fleet should monitor a "Hobie
Channel" to be used as follows:
1j To give general information to
incoming traffic such as where to
park, camp, or launch, as well as
answer any questions.
2} If camp facilities or beaches
are spread out over a wide area, the
race committee could use the radio
to relay times, delays, or
cancellations.
3 ) Emergency or special problems
in some areas could be solved
quickly with radio communication.
Thus, I propose that all Hobie
people with Citizen Band Radios
monitor channel 8 or as an alternate
channel 7 if local traffic is too heavy
on 8. Then, anyone arriving at a
regatta could instantly get the earof
his fellow sailors.
Sincerely,
Richard Friesen

WOMEN SKIPPERS
ABROAD Ino pun intended)
Dear Ed:
It's been over four months now
that I have had my own Hobie 14.
I started racing on a friend's 14 but
never really did very well until
this year when I got my ownboat for
my birthday. Since then I have
had two third places-one of
them in a points regatta! I belong
to Fleet 133 in Puerto Rico. During
the past races, I've met many kinds
of people in different kinds of places
[the races are held all over the
island ). It's a new adventure for me.
I am the only female racing a 14
in my,fleet. It's a new experience
. racing against boys and oldtime,
racers. I am 16 years old and
am hoping to get better as the
races go by. I'm still in Class B but
doing the best I can.
I am thinking of teaming up
with my 18-year-old.sister to race a
Hobie 16, but in the meantime I'll
stay where I am. I'm proud of being
a female racer! I get a lot of attention
and everywhere I go everyone is
always nice to me and very
friendly. Everyone should do
the same!
Yours truly,
Dorian A. Goldberg

ROUTINE -SAIL POCKET ADJUSTMENT
by John Hackney
When it comes to squeezing maximum performance
from your Hobie Cat, sail shape is the most important
factor every time. And getting that proper sail shape
(draft) can become part of your routine setting-up
procedure.
The parameters controlling sail shape... batten, outhaul
and downhaul tension... can be easily adjusted. Outhaul
and downhaul tension require only quick adjustment using
the stock cleats. Batten tension can be adjusted using
stock caps or by using one of the quick adjusting batten
caps that are on the market.
Downhaul moves the pocket forward in the sail and
removes wrinkles. After setting up your Cat, pull down
on the main sheet as if going to weather. Then pull the
downhaul tight until the diagonal wrinkles have disappeared across the lower forward third of your sail. This
is where it should be set for most sailing conditions.
If the wind is really howling or extremely light, pull
the downhaul so that the top of the gooseneck is even
with the black band ( maximum legal downhaul). Over
tension may counter rotate the mast. This will bring the
pocket further forward in the sail. As your sail ages, you'll
probably sail with the downhaul to the black band all
the time.
Outhaul tends to flatten the sail, a good condition in
both heavy and light airs. The outhaul should be set with
the mainsheet slack. Lubricating the end of the boom
where the outhaul line slides makes adjustment easier
too. The tension should be considerable, say 70 to 80
pounds for most conditions. For heavy and light airs pull
as hard as'possible.
If you're sailing and find wrinkels,parallel to the boom,
simply loosen the outhaul until they disappear. For ultimate performance, loosen the outhaul every time you sail
downwind, but remember to tighten it when going back
to weather.
The big problem with adjusting batten tension is that
all battens must be tensioned proportionately or the sail
will work against itself. Any good sailing book will explain
how to measure and adjust the pocket (draft or camber)
in your sail. It requires some complicated mathematical
calculations, is very time consuming and must be redone
for varying wind conditions.
If you'd rather be sailing than calculating, the easiest
solution to the problem'is the use of draft gauges. These
will allow you to set consistent batten tension for varying
wind conditions without the hassle. (See TrenTec ad in
this issue.)
Here's a hint I'd like to give you on the installation of
draft gauges. Go sailing for a day, come in, release the
batten tension and with the battens flat mark the trailing
edge of your sail It is most important that this mark. be
correct. Before hoisting sail again, set your batten tension
at 2 to 3. This will give you the consistent pocket you've
been looking for. In heavy or light air, set tension at less
than 2 to flatten the sail.
With practice, these procedures usually take no more
time than hoisting your sail or drinking a cool beer. They
should increase your Hobie Cat's performance and your
personal enjoyment immeasurably. AL

So what's so special about cruising a Hobie in an unknown country like Belize
(ex-British Honduras)7 For me, it's like sailing into a nautical Wizard of Oz, set in the coral
seascape of another planet.
The Caribbean waters of Vermont-size Belize are a mini-West Indies with some 200 cays
(keys) nestled inside a barrier reef (the world's second largest) that fringes her
175-mile • astline, creating a broad expanse of semi-protected sailing shoreward.
Beyond the main reef lie several atoll-like formations with huge lagoons and still more
cays. it's all scenic dynamite and made-to-order Hobie (and diver's) territory
:
-
with enticing riames ·like Laughing Bird, Coco Plum, and Half Moon.
Camping on the reef at Tobacco Cay.

Freighter aground on Ughthouse Reef off Half Moon Cay.
Belize
Besides, Belize is a charmingly funky place that seems more
like a team effort creation of Woody Allen, O'Henry,.and Mad
Magazine. It's a land where the absurd abounds, and the local
"YOU'D BETTER BELlZE TT!" bumper stickers mean just that
I lived there for three years once-just the way to loosen up
after years of taking things too seriously. That's how I got into
the Hobie scene.
My first voyage was on a Hobie 14 with a Peace Corps fiend
and wool blanket (7!) that promptly took on all the alarming
characteristics of a gigantic sponge (the blanket, that is)...
A dying wind which left us adrift 25 miles out on an inspiring,
starlit night.. Utter silence except for the almost human gasps
of surfacing porpoises 036.
5:00 a.m. and the sounds of music on
our tiny portable... Another day of exploring until food and
water ran low... A dreamy, downwind glide back home on a
moonless night through the water's eerie phosphorescence;
the town's glow an easy beacon. Pretty damn naive-but that's
the way to learn.
Got my act together with a 16 with portholes for in·hull
storage, Danforth anchor, compass, boom tent, charts waterproofed with Contact paper, and then on to a couple thousand
miles of cay·hopping around the reef, each trip another unfor.
gettable adventure. I'm stoked on cruising as the coequal to
racing in the Hobie Life-it's the only way to find out why the
porpoise smiles. Her 254s
what 1 mean...
Twen• ·fvemiles out from Corozal Town, the bay takes an
abrupt 90-degree tum southward, and we're on a screaming
broad reach. for the final 35 miles to the sea, pushed by a 20+
knot northeast trade... Meet our first boat of the day, a 25·foot
native gunter rig beating north into the bay's steep chop, its
8
Belizean crew agape as we whiz by... Sk hours and 60 miles
out-emerald gives way to a cobalt-green as we clear the tip
of Ambergris Cay and hit the Caribbean. The tall palms of Cay
Caulker loom on the horizon.
Caulker is a lobstering center and backpacker's haven with
prices to match-$1.50 for a lobster meal. Except for the rackeB'
diesel generator, things are pret• laid back in the sand street
village (no cars!) with its rustic wooden homes perched on
stilts. That night, we loaded up on lobster at a homey restaurant,
seated on an open porch with a multi-national group of sunburned travelers rehashing the day's adventures on the reef.
Scattered between the reef and mainland, the cays run southward to the Gulf of Honduras-anything from clumps of manTumeffe Islands fish camp-the "inn" place to spend
New Year's Eve.

grove.,td stretches of.sandy beach and eight-stoly palm trees.
One. late afternoon, while cruising this string · 'of landfalls, we
spotted a tiny cluster of extra tall. palms, shimmering like a
mirage on the horizon. It had to be picture book Tobacco Cay,
and the chart and a compass bearing confirmed ·it The sun
dropped below the sea as we began the final approach, beating
against a 25·knot trade. Several fishermen stood on the beach,
awed by the Hobi 254s
hull-flying arrival framed by a crimson sunset
We set up camp. surrounded by a panorama of cays, reef,
and iridescent water ranging from emerald to indigo. Might.
time was just as classic-a star-filled sky, the sounds of reef
surf and rustling palms, and the glow of Stann Creek Town
on the mainland 12 miles away.
We headed out the Tobacco cut and beam reached along
the reef at 15 knots among countless flying fish. Dozens. of
cays paraded past as we threaded our way through coral banks.
It was a science fiction landscape-against a play of colord,
the white line of the reef ran on for miles, occasionally broken
by the massive, rusted hull of a freighter aground on its coral
grave... Two potpoises streaked by to check us out-I could
almost see them smiling.
The Tumeffe Islands group lies about eight miles beyond
the · main reef; an oval-shaped archipelago, surrounded by its
own coral barrier with several huge lagoons. At sunset, we
finished .tackin• up a narrow channel between two islands
and emerged into a bight opening to the sea on Tumeffe's
eastern. edge. The crude shanty of a fishing camp sat on stilts
a half mile from shore and its occupant was excitedly waving
us over. Perched at one end of the rickety wood dock was a
dooriess outhouse-wide open to seaward, affording the user
a marvelous ocean view. It was New Year's Eve and we were
urged to spend the night Jumping into the thigh-deep water,
wg snapped off a few stiots of our floating "hotel" in the fading
light before our host cheerfully informed us that. the area was
the local MacDonalds for sharks who homed in at nightfall
for fish.heads. Evening passed around a smok kerosene lamp.
with Radio Belize's top hits of 1977 and Ludwig's. (our host)
sea tales, enlivened by a 20-knot wind fluting through the
slapboard walls of his shack
Ughthouse Reef lagoon lies 50 miles off the mainland and
was a 20-mile • row flight from the fish c8mp. Early New Year's
morning, we cleared Tumeffe's reef and began the first long
tack against a mid·teens trade. Depth plummeted to the 5001000 fathom range as we plowed through choppy seas with
cross swell-mask and snorkel sailing. Finally a speck on the
horizon. Squeezing in to the lagoon through a section of brokenup reef, we made a twisting course through coral heads to
palm-shrouded Half Moon Cay. The view from the lighthouse
is spectacular-pocked with coral, the lagoon's 1-3 fathom
water hps a striking clarity and color variation. Several wrecked
freighter• are strewn along its 70-mile perimeter.
Midway Mp the lagoon is the Blue Hole, site of a Cousteau
expedition (and TV special ) several years ago. Encircled by
a 1000-foot diameter ring of coral, the Hole is a collapsed
limestone cavem whose blueblack water drops to 408 feet
in vivid contrast to the shallow lagoon water. A treacherous
scuba spot for pros only, as the walls slope outwards and
have recesses-easy to get lost
So that's what Hobie cruising means to me. Hey, wait a
minute, things can't be that perfect all the time. Right on. My
ultimate low is cross·filed under. Night of the Crab or Busted
-ar'Bratladdie.. Got '' boxed tin by squalls one afternoon while
soloing the 16 back to Corozal from San Pedro and holed up
for a wet night at uninhabited Blackadore Cay. Set up the
tramp-mounted tent but hpd to bail out around 200 a.m. when
lightning moved in close. Spent an hour in the downpour,
huddled under a leaky poncho among a platoon of land crabs
who were really getting off on the weather. Sure, there's bound
to be an occasional downer when you take on the Wizard of
Belize, but we usually all come out smiling and stoked for more.

POLAR BEAR REGATIA OR DIAMOND HEAD EAST
by Joe Flaherty/ Photos by Dan Buop and Chad Lyons
Division 12 began its points season
at Madison, Connecticut's Suif Club Beach
with The Fourth Annual Polar Bear Regatta,
spotisored by Fleet 136 (Hobie Sounders
of Connecticut), Club Cocktails, and Pedal
and Sail, and it proved to be the best
season opener e*er. The organization of
the event virtually eliminated petty hassles
from the minds of the competitors, and
weather conditions caused the regatta
to be subtitled "Diamond Head East."
The spring northerlies travel over New
England's jagged toI)ography before ar·
riving on Long Island Sound at Madison;
their voyage over the rough New England
countiyside causes themto be bent, twisted,
oscillated, and completely unpredictable.
Fody-mph gusts are recorded seconds
after 2-mph lulls. With water temperatures
hovering around 42' F. and air tempera·
tures not more than 65' F., the challenge
was apparent After a long winter's absence
from the sailing scene, who would overcome the natural fears of cold and dig
comfort to concentrate on boat speed
and tacticsi
We started Saturday morning's racing
with a quick once around triangular course,
just to knock the cobwebs out, get a stress
test on equipment, and re-evaluate strate
gies. Boats were down like leaves off trees
in November. At least half the entrants
were over once, many boats two and
three times. The first race was followed
by lunch ( lots of New England clam chow.
-der) and rescue missions for those who
just couldn't right their boats or who suf
fered equipment damage. The afternoon's
races were once around triangles with
marks left to starboard to keep b• ats
closer to shore for possible rescue missions

by the oven\,orked chase boat crews. The
third race saw the wind slack off some,
allowing the competitors a chance to
practice their moderate to light air techniques.
About a hundred contestants, families,
friends, and spectators joined us Saturday
evening for the "Polar Bear, Club Cocktail,
Spaghetti, Disco Bash." Dinner and war
stories of the day's sailing commenced
about 7 p.m. At about 9 p.m. all the energy
reverted to "boogie power." The dancing
continued until about midnight, when even
the most fanatical party·goer realized that
the next day's skippers meeting was only
eight hours away.
Very few could believe it when the,wind
piped up even more on Sunday. Fortunately, it shifted a little more to the west
and therefore smoothed some. The first
race of the day was a modified cup course
(triangle, windward, leeward). The last ·
race was run back-to-back on the first
and it was a beauty. A long windward leg
to finish provided a great climax to a
great regatta as the boats clustered in
together.
Congratulations to all the winners!

Goodbye Rich and best of luck! Our National Racd Coordinator, Rich Jeffries, is retiring from active Hobie duty
to open his own business ( in partnership with another
Hobie Catter, Steve Leo ). If you're ever in Pacific Beach,
stop by their Ski and Sport shop and talk sailing... maybe
he'll have a chance to do some now-just for the fun«of it!
The following is a goodbye letter from Hobie Cat's president which says it for all of us...

Dear Rich:
I was sorry that my travels caused me to miss
your last day at the office and (especially) your
"going away" party!
Rich, you've been a heck of a Hobie employee!
We will all miss you around the office, and I know
that the thousands of Hobie Class Association
members will miss your guidance and leadership.
Unquestionably, you have been a real positive force
in the "Hobie Way of Life" and the development
of the Hobie Class Association and you sure
will be hard to replace. You have "Big Shoes"!
Your new business opportunity sounds great
and appears to be the chance of a lifetime. Please
accept my best wishes for success and assurance
that we'll all be pulling for you to make it
really BIG!!
HAVE (a bunch of) HOBIE DAYS!!

I hear a lot of gripes about how there's too much racing, there's not a
good place to launch, etc., and' 1 think this story can help us get more
Hobie people to come out and play with us. Here in the East we don't have
miles of beaches and'some people get discouraged or afraid from lack
of experience and leave the boat in the backyard. I hope those people will
read the story, get the boat out of the yard... and sail.
Second/y, the /ack of good launching p/aces is common in the East.
This story is proof that effort and organization can overcome problemsI hope some other fleets will take heart and make things happen!

About five years ago Pat Moore and
Leo Flanigan of Fleet 54 arranged for
the use of the Gunpowder State Park
beach area, but only early in the season
before swimming season. This beach is one of only two public access beaches
available to sailboats and accessible to
the Baltimore/Washington area. Two sailing beaches do not a sailing season make,
so in early '77 Pat Moore began "agitating"
My old Grandmother used to say"When
the going gets tough, the tough get going!"
Well, the going has been tough for the.
Hobie Fleets in this area trying to find a
place to launch into the Chesapeake Bay.
Yacht clubs do not appreciate us, swim.
ming beaches are concerned about safely,
etc. So let me tell you a story about how
the tough got going around here and got
a new sailing beach.

the Fleet officials. They began. by discuss.
ing why we could/could not bse existing
beaches, then moved on'to a suggestion
by the · State people that we might use
an abandoned inarina purchased as part
of the park but so far unused. In December
1977, Wes and the State Planner Went to
look over the area. Wes looked around,
saw the. natural sand beach, road access
and wide water, and agreed it was suitable.
The State Planner designated the area
for a sailing beach in the preliminary
master plan, and so far the plan has passed
the first public review. Then we asked,
"What if we use our people to clean th6
area riow-can we use the beach this
sumnier7' That question had to go to
the Directdr of the Magland State Park.
Service, but the ariswer came back YES.
To help get that yes, the Fleets' 54 and
170 Commodores sent a joint letter to
the Director formally requesting the area.
Next, a cleanup date was set. Instruc
tions were to bring work gloves, Ricks,
shovels, and wheelbarrows. We didn't
know whdt we were getting into. I hope
a picture is worth the thousand words
because they will have to tell most of that
day's story. Over 25 people showed up
and we loaded an estimated 20,000 to
30,000 pounds of rocks, dead trees, and
broken glass onto the Park Service truck.
They literally had to get a bulldozer to
pull the truck · out, the load was so heavy
the springs were flat.
So, what do we have7 First, we have
proof that State government can do more
than take your tax money-they can pro·
vide services too if you go about asking
and then prove your worth. Secorid, we
have a small sailing beach, capable of
lining up 10·15 Hobies on the sand. Third,
we have,the expectation that if all goes
well, the area may be further developed
with a larger beach, bathrooms nearer
the beach, and other facilities. Use of the
beach is open to all small sailboats, riot
just Hobies, but it's free and we're happy
to share. The more people that use it,
the' more likely the State is to provide
amenities.
That brings up the last· point Sorr,6
Hobie sailors around here don't belong
to the local fleets and some don't sail
much, reportedly because of the local
emphasis on racing. This beach will be
used mostly for recreational or fun sailing this summer. because of its small size.
, It's a beautiful place, the wind is there,
the water is reasonably clean, and we
INVITE YOU ·to come out any weekend
to "cat around." It is hard to find without
directions, but you can call either Fleet
and get directions, and we're HAPPY TO
HAVE YOU. Sailing together is more fun
and safer than sailing alone, and new
faces are always welcome. If you're too
far away to sail with us on ·the Bay but
lack launching places-help your fleet
get staried developing new ones! You'd
be surprised how many.diverse skills are ·
in the average fleet and how much you
can accomplish if you agree on the need
to do something. See you on the water!

The winners.
16A winner, John Ross-Duggan, and crew
Therese Jimenez giving StroWs a plug.
On shore Jay Seiloff from Stroh's was
busy cooking hot dogs and knochurst
in beer (Stroh's, of course) for the race
participants and their friends. Stroh's provided hot dogs, beer, soft drinks, door
prizes, and beautiful blue T·shirts for the
regatta. They were a great crowd to work
with, although Jay couldn't believe we
would ever consume 400 hot dogs and
65 cases of beer in two days. Obviously
hehadneverbeentoa HobieRegatta
before! (Our thanks to Coast Cat for buying the beer!!)
But then the wind began to blow and
the chase boats proved their value. By
the third race, winds were 25 knots gust. ing to 30 and for many of the sailors
(especially our 19-member Novice Fleet),
168 second place winner, Matt Bounds of
Richmond shows how he gets from regatta to
regatta without a trailer.

from North Carolina and Virginia showed
up for two days of competition on Mother's

the beach at Arrowhead Campground took
mathematical genius; fortunately, the manager of the campground had finished a

advantage of what we thought would be
only a few hours of sun and manageable

the colorful sight and race visibility while
skippers and their crews relished
the sunshine and speed.

The chase boats were kept busy with de
mastings, broken halyards, lost rudder
pins, and turtlings. The challenge of the
race was enhanced by the fight to stay
upright! It was an exhausted group of
sailors. that finally pulled their boats up
on the beach Saturday afternoon. Novice
skippers were encouraged to see that "A

when finally posted, brought renewed
determination for Sunday's races-that
is, if any of the boats were still there when
the storm passed.
Sunday morning dawned overcast and
cooler although the sun broke through
by race time. The boats were still on the
beach and everyone was ready to go, vowingtomakesomechangesintheSaturday's
standings. There were some delays in
getting the races started so only one
race was run.
After the race, hot dogs and a door
prize raffle kept everyone around until
the results could be tabulated. Trophies,
which were polished hand-carved wooden
sails mounted on a dark wood plague
(thank you, Jay Swan!) were presented.
The new North Carolina State Champions
in their respective fleets are Jay Swan of
Chapel Hill-14s; John Ross·Duggan of
Durham and Newport Beach, California16A Fleet (haven't we heard that name
before)); Bob Poteat ofRaleigh-168 Fleet;
and Bill Schott of Wilmington-16 Novice.
The 14 Novice trophy wad presented to
Lany Birchfield of Raleigh. The addition
of a Novice fleet was new this year and
drew a large number of anxious·to·learn
skippers. Only one Hobie 18 was entered
and skipper Lee Holman showed everyone
how beautiful and fast the Hobie 18 is.
He was the only one who managed to
beat Ross-Duggan. Maybe that'sthe answer
to our dilemma-18's for everyone except John!
Fleet 97 wishes to thank Coast Cat and
Stroh's for their sponsorship, partidpation, and great help. Television coverage
of the event was provided by WNCT-TV,
Greenville, N.C., and on-the-spot radio
broadcasts were cawied by WPTF ,radio
of Raleigh. Door pdzes'were donated by
Stroh's, Murray's Sports Center of Los
Angeles, The Cat House of San Diego,
and Sails and Shells of Salterpalh. Thanks
to evelyone who helped to make this such
a success! Xi

JULY/AUGUST 1978
HOBIECLASSASSOCIATION
FLEET 11
Orlando, Florida
On uniquely.beautiful Bay Lake at Walt
Disney World, 111 Hobie Cats competed for
points and trophies. The folks at Disney designed the trophies and the T-shirts which
proved to be very popular. While the saildrs
rigged theirboats, Goofyentertained the sailors
with a trick ski show just off the beach. Everything, including the skippers meeting and all
of the races, were run on schedule by the experienced race committee from the Orlando
Yacht Club, chaired by Laser skipper Bob
Hewitt. Everything-that is except the trophy
presentations-which were held 30 minutes
early due to the happy situation that no protedts were filed Sundayl
Under clear skies, the first race Saturday
afternoon was the light-shifty-air-type affair
that tries the patience of all sailors, especially
those used to the steadier ocean breezes. If
you were in last place on one leg, you had a
good chance. of passing the fleet on the next
leg as they stopped in a calm spot to wait for
you. With the 18's sailing three times around
the triangle, and twice around for the 16's and
14's. this leap frog action was repeated several times.
For the second and third races Saturday,
a storm parked itself just far. enough away
to give a fresh breeze so that everyone could .
do some trapezing and yet not have to worry
about lightning or rain. The last two races
were run Sunday with a return to the light
shifty conditions. When all was over, everyone agreed that host Fleet 11 had run a.smooth
affair. Special thanks were in order for the
many Disney employees who donated their
time-off to work hard to assure the success
of the regatta, especially joe Wisner and Gary
Lydic of the Contemporary Hotel Activities
Staff. The Hobie Class Association was also
fondly remembered in the hearts land tummies ) of the racers as a considerable amount
of beer and soft drinks were consumed during
the weekend.
As has become traditional at the Disney
Regatta, a number of families came to race
their Hobies for the first time. It is great to
see new folks discover the fun of Hobie racing.
Early plans for next year's regatta include
the possibility of a major Saturday night party
at Walt Disney World's Pioneer Hall in the
Fort Wilderness Campground Area!
FLEET 47
Southwestern Ohio and
Southeastern Indiana
Considefing ihe weather, the Cowan Lake
Spring Regatta was another great success.
Only a bunch of idiots would race in such
cold and wet weather as we had... so there
we werel Turnout was good: eighteen 16's,
one 18 . and one 14!
Bill Settle and Ed Rooch arrived in first
class style for the regatta in their new Hobie
18 "Red Rocket." After watching Bill and Ed
"fly" around the race course and tack as well,
or better than a 16, we are sure the 18 is on
its. way in! Steve Tacy, owner of Blue Ash
Boat Service, also brought a new 18 to our
regatta to give demonstration rides to interested sailors.
Saturday's first two races were blessed
with moderate,wind and rain. During the third
race, however, we encountered no wind at
all. Saturday night consisted of good friends
around a toasty warm fire enjoying good food,
good drink, and rather lengthy conversations
about the day's races and racing tactics.
And then there was Sunday... high gusting
winds, white caps, and -capsizing boats! The
' brave raced as usual, the conservative reefed
· their mains, and the sane watched from the
shore. Among those testing the temperature
of the water, the hard way, were the current
secretary and treasurer of our-fleet. ( We encourage our officers to get into the "swim of
things.")
Beautiful trophies were provided by Steve
Tacy, our new Hobie dealer in Cincinnati.
The winners were: R. Arhbecker - Hobie 14;
Ron and Sue Marshall - 16A Fleet; and Dick
and Marty Woodie - 16B Fleet.

FLEET.66
Phoenix, Arizona
After researching the wind conditions at
various lakes in the State of Arizona, we
selected Lake Mead at Temple Bar, Arizona,
to host the fifth annual "Ides ofMarch" points
regatta. The facilities and water were great:
however, the wind didn't cooperate. The 54
entrants in 80-degree weather, were able to
coast around the race course in shifting breezes
for only three races. The Fleet. under the
direction .of Vice Commodore Ron Levetin,
gave to each entrant a personalized handpainted leather key chain, which represented
the Hobie being sailed. And as usual, under
the guidance of Melodie Koe, the Fleet provided a great hamburger lunch with all the
trimmings.
The trophy winners were: Miles Wood - 14A

the early part of the summer, we have two
regattas in the Cascade area, a lu• h green
and timbered valley with warm consistent
winds. All areas for the fleet races are within
a two-hour drive of Boise. The ice has melted
and we,are enjoying beautiful weather; water
temperature is above 50 degrees. Our weekend regattas are a combination campout or

FLEET 134
Memphis, Tennessee
Fleet 134 held its second points race, The
Broken Mast Regatta, at Enid Lake, Mississippi, about 50 miles south of Memphis. Dr.
Bill Haik contributed his broken mast which
Commodore Russ Sims made into some of
the best looking trophies ever ( see picture ).
It is a cinch that the regatta name will last
at least as long as the broken mast lasts. ExHobie sailors Fred DeRoode and Rick Kauerz
did an excellent job with food and the committee boal, respectively. The wind had an
off-weekend for this time of year and was
light and variable. Winner was Gwin Anderson
with Scott Steel: second was Griff Burr with
daughter Rebecca; and third went to Dr: Bill
Haik with Dr. Mike McCoy.
BIG BEAR
Hobie Cup '78
It's nice when Mother Nature cooperates.
And cooperate she did for the Big Bear Hobie
Cup '78, which drew a total of 97 Hobie Cats
to compete in the first such regatta ever on
Big Bear Lake, California.
Flyers sent out for the evenl warned potentiaj participants to "bring wetsuits and ice
pick," but fortunately the 'only extra pieces
of equipment needed were thewetsuits.Though
the water was cold, there was no ice-or
snow-and blue skies and warm temperatures
( 70 to 72 degrees) prevailed for the two-day
event.
Another thing that prevailed for the Hobie
Cal sailors was Big Bear's prevailing wind,
which almost like clockwork each day sprang
up about 11 am, blowing steadily in over the
dam to sweep down the length of the lake
before heading for the high desert. A sailor's
paradise and a regatta's dream come true.
Originally 113 skippers preregistered for
the event, and though 16 did not show up.
the competition was no less stiff for those
who did. The regatta drew some big names
in the Hobie racing world, as well as some
of the smaller names of local sailors who have
only begun their climb to stardom.
Grabbing the top award-the eight-year
perpetual trophy for the top points racer-was Hobie Alter, Jr., of Capistrano Beach,
whose crewmember was Missy Hutton. As
he picked up his trophy, there were goodnatured cries from the audience of "The factory team!" and "No fairl His father invented
it!"But Alter deserved what he got, which
also included first place in the 16A Fleet and
first place in the 16 Single-Hand ( no crewmember] race.
Several local sailors picked up awards too,
including the team of Dennis and Valerie
Hanlon who took first place in the 168 Fleet,
thus boosting the Hanlons into A Fleet where
they can now race against the "real hot-shots."
Locals Steve Blauer and Dee Dee Gilligan
placed second behind the Hanlons in that
event. Local youth Chris Bellows acted as
crewmember for San Marino skipper Donald
01tmans and helped boost him to a fourth
place finish in the leA Fleet. In the 1BC Fleet,

locals Wally Weberand Archie Sunblade placed
third, followed in fourth by locals Nels Lindblom and Mindy McQuoid, who in turn were
followed by part-time residents Courtney
and Audrey Moe in fifth. Denny Soden, a
former Big Bear resident now living in Anaheim, placed first in the 14* Fleet. Soden
first tried his Hobie wings here, learning to
, fly hulls on Big Bear Lake before moving
down the hill.
In the women's race for 16-footers, local
sailors Chris Barton and Valerie Hanlon placed
second. And, based upon the improvement
shown in the three races Saturday and the
two races Sunday, Dennis and Valerie Hanlon
were awarded the special trophy for the most '
improved, donated by the Big Bear Lake Valley
Chamber of Commerce.
All in all it was, according to Lorry Cooke,
a very successful regatta, especially considering that it was the first. Cooke, whose Cooke
Marine co-sponsored the regatta with the Big
Bear Lake Sailing Association, said that only
a few problems were encountered. Those were
with the, mechanics of putting on the event,
he said, and were ironed out early on Saturday. Numerous participants offered congratulations to the organizers of.the event.
While the headquarters was located at the
old Moon Camp on North Shore, east of Fawnskin, only some of the sailors camped out there ·
for the weekend. Others stayed in motels and
lodges, while still others stayed in their own
weekend cabins scattered -around the Valley.
And thanks to the advance planning of the
sponsors, plenty of sanitation and trash collection facilities were available-and were
used by the sailors and their families and
friends, thus leaving the headquarters area
as clean Imaybe cleaner?) as it was before
they arrived.
FLEET 250
Atlantic Highlands, New Iersey
They said it couldn't be done, but when
the fog lifted, Sandy Hook Hobie Fleet 250
proved to' remain afloat and well after holding its first official fleet sailing activity at
our launching beach located in Atlantic Highlands. We are a newly-formed fleet based
along the east coast of New jersey. Our launching beach, directly on the Sandy Hook Bay,
affords a dramatic view of the New York
skyline and borders on the main road leading
to the municipal harbor giving many curious
spectators an excellent first glimpse of those
beautiful Hobies in flight.
Having been postponed from the previous
day, the rain date revealed continuing bad
weather which took its toll of our 85 charter
members. For those who could not be there,
we want you to know.that you missed a funfilled day which was accented by no wind,
dense fog, drizzling rain, and cold, damp
temperatures. Was that mold and mildew I
saw growing on our life jackets?
By 9:30 am, fellow officers and committee
heads had rigged an impressive tent on the
beach which was used for changing in and
out of wetsuits. It was a bit chilly, although
some of the girls mentioned gusts of hot air
which seemed to be coming into the tent from
the wipdows. But you told me those windows
would stay zippered shut, Bill Uhouse! Tables
were set up along the water's edge containing
gallons of steaming coffee and coffee cakes
and as the fogg continued to roll in so did the
vans and cars pulling Hobies. In rolled the
beer keg and sandwiches and by noon time,
about 18 boats lined our beach. Tequila and
Flamer sails stand out beautifully against
stark gray fog. Many members arrived minus
their Hobies to take advantage of the blackboard beach seminar,on points of reach and,
basics of racing a typical course.
Following briefing sessions on the beach,
lunch of sandwiches and free beer, 18 colorful Hobies took Sandy Hook Bay by storm!
Well... not quite! Our Race Committee Captain,
affectionately known as "Hobie Nick," lead
the fleet into the water on his awesomely
beautiful new Hobie 18. While Nick had visions
of punching through the waves and flying his
huge hulls, he calmly bobbed about on this
large hulk for 30 minutes while his race committee and anxious-to-learn neophytes and
fellow Hobie sailors enjoyed his becalmed
demonstration of assorted facial expressions

NEEDLE BEARINGS MAKE
THE DIFFERENCE
SEAWAY is the only block- maker to use
needle bearings, the best type of bearing for
high loads. Even sheave support is accomplished thus eliminating binding caused by stress.
And because SEAWAY blocks perform, Hobies
respond.
SEAWAY Boom Vang Systems feature needle
bearing blocks and stainless cam cleats. The
3:1 Standard System utilizes the Fiddle 'V'
Jam Cleat block. Each system is light in weight,
low in profild and inexpensive in cost! All
systems are complete with wire pennant, shackle,
stainless "S" hook a:nd feature • SAMSON

of how to conduct yourself in a totally nowind condition with a hoard of spectators.
Around 2:30 the sun started peaking out
from behind' the clouds and we dediced to
hold a fun race. We bobbed about for a brief
while, and then miraculously the fog lifted
and ripples of wind could be seen skipping
across the water. Our make-shift committee
boat held up that red flag and our first race
was off to a start. First race was won by
Alan Ferguson and our Commodore Ron Post
came in with a close second. Another race
was held and by this time we had a 10-knot
breeze. Sailors turped landlubbers ate their
hearts out as we raced around the course. The
overall winner was Jack Kofoed.
This charming community has brought our
fleet in contact with some of the nicest and
most generous pe'ople who have warmed our
hearts. The lovely Rum Runner restaurant
(located on the ocean and Shrewsbury River
in Seabright) has donated their entire top
floor for our fleet meetings and it is there
that we will hold our great Hobie parties!
Our fleet would like to extend a cordial
welcome to all Hobie skippers and crew and
interested people in the mid-east coast area
of New Jersey to join our fleet and to participate in the 1978 sailing activities which
promise to be fantastic. The great 250 Hobie
Summer!

. Fourteen skippers arrived one bright Saturday morning for our most recent regatta.·
The weather was warm (constant 86 degrees),
with an offshore breeze of 20 knots, waves
breaking over the coral reefs, leaving spray
in the air. It was an exciting day with five
breakdowns and one demasting. Seven boats

were able to finish the race. One of our members, unable to sail that day due to the fact
that he had to fly Antilles Airboats, became
the talk of the town, swooping down on the
racers just at the last mark. He caused quite
a stir. The race committee, beaded by Ken
Dunn and helped by three able· adsistants,
was fair (most of the time). A fantastic buffet
luncheon was served right on the beach by
the Jockey Club, and after a few rum punches,
it was back to serious racing. Sunday saw
the same weather, with winds gusting 25-30
knots. A cocktail party was held to honor ,
the winners, and the trophies (giant pewter
mugs) were given to the captains and-crews
of the top three boots. They were: Herb
Alderson/Jodie Ridgeway, Tom Baldauf/Paul
Buskey, and Logan Caldwell/Charlie Blankenship.

DUBAI
United Arab Emirates
The Arabian Gulf, the world's new center
of wealth, power, and intrigue has a blooming catamaran sailing community where
Hobie Cats hold their own. Dubai, the area's
most progressive city, is located on the
shores of the Arabian Gulf, and it's here
where men who'during work days develop
an oil empire come on Friday (which is the
Muslim world's Sunqay) to congregate at
the Dubai Offshore Sailing Club and enjoy
casual or competitive sailing.
On May 11th and 12th the D,0.S.C. hosted
the ·Gulf's first Catamaran Championship;
we had.19 participating boats; Hobies and
a few other cats. Visibility of marks was no
problem-participating skippers have unlimited resources so for buoys we used a
couple of super tankers and an oil production platform. Beer was delivered to the
boats via helicopter which unfortunately
caused a few capsizes; protesting was no
problem because the race committee monttored the entire race using a spy satellite.
All B.S. aside, we had a good event. First
place went to John Walker and his daughter,
sailing a Mystere 16: second place was Clive
R. Makinson-Sanders and his wife Kathy
sailing a Hobie 16. Not having won first
place does not take away from the Hobies
because we've found them to be a much
sturdier boat, incurring far less damage
than any other. We plan to hold at least one
open championship every year and any Hot
Line readers ·in this area or visitors to this
area will be welcomed anytime. Contact Clive
R. Makinson-Sanders or Ross Quick, P.O.
Box '3098, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
(P.S. Among the other parts of above, the
bit about "spy satellite" .is just kidding; 1
hope itdoesn'tget me in troublewiththe CIA.)

Wayne Schafer... John Ross-Duggan.. Jim McCann... J. Allyn
Stevens. The registration sheets looked like the "Who's Who"
of Hobie Cat society. But they had come to do more than
socialize. They had come to compete in the 1978 Hobie Midwinters East in St Augustine Beach, Florida.
The race site proved perfect for the Midwinters. The wide,
hardpacked beach behind the Holiday Inn served as a parking
lot for cars and trailers as well as a boat-rigging and launching
area. During the actual racing, this same beach would be
lined with hundreds of spectators, each trying to sport a longer
camera lens, fancier van, or deeper sunburn than his neighbors!
A portable CB unit was on hand at the Holiday Inn to interpret
the racing for the less experienced. A small private plane buzzed
in circles overhead, ferrying local press and their camera
equipment
The two practice races on Friday afternoon gave the race
committee a chance to update their skills. California and
Nevada skippers could check out the local cutrents and wind
shifts, while those New York and New Jersey skippers made
sure all the .ice had drained out of their hulls. For the many
newcomers, this would be their first chancd to yell, "Who WAS
that guy.7!" as John Ross-Duggan flashed by everyone to Victory
in both practice races. Th6h it was time to head back to the
beach and meet a Hobie Super Star.
Who learned the most from Hobie authority Wayne Schafer's
Friday-night seminarl It would be hard to say. Wayne has been
a friendly face on the Hobie scene since the 14 was in its
designing stages, and his enthusiasm in Hobie sailing makes
him a favorite at regattas. After rapping with Wayne and watch·
ing "A Moment's Glory', the troops were stoked for the racing
to come!
Saturday dawned calm and clear, with short waves gently
lapping the beach... and dam little halyard slapping to be
heard! The red flag drooped apologetically in the 8-knot winds,
as the boats bobbed in the short chop and strong current
John Ross-Duggan of Durham, .M.C, the current Hobie 16
National Champion, let 16A Fleet to the finish line. Bill Schroeder
of Ft Myers won the first.race in 14A, and Bob Whitehurst
of Gainesville took 18A Whitehurst and Ross-Duggan would
hold their leads and eventually wio their classes, but Schroeder
was to be overtakeri by Carlton Tucker of Ft Walton Beach.
Knowing that Hobie sailors like to eat and play hard after
they race hard, Jacksonville's Fleet 111 had arranged a "Chuck
•
Wagon" buffet dinner and a Bluegrass Band for the evening.
The attendance was super, and many a skipper could be found
barging along the buffet line for seconds.
Sunday produced only slightly more air. The regatta drew
036'
to a close with Richard, Karran of Jacksonville maintaining
his firm lead in 168 Fleet and Kenny Duffield of Gainesville
winning 148.16C Fleet went to MaR Michels of Largo, Florida.
At the trophy presentation, the winners were presented with
round lithograph prints of pastel drawings of Hobie Cats, mounted
on pine with a rope border-a fitting paze for someone who
had ·taken honors in this caliber of competition! • 221

How many times have you opened a magazine or flicked on
the tube and said.'WOW! LOOK AT THE HOBIE CATSI"
As a Hobie Cat sailor. it's really neat to see such great publicity of
your boat and your sport. I'm sure you'll agree that the Hobie
Cat Public Relations Department does a tremendous job of
publicizing-and thus promoting-the thrill and excitement
of Hobie Cat sailing. Just think what could be done if everyone
got involved in the act!
There are now 261 Hobie Cat fleets sponsoring hundreds of
local Hobie Cat regattas evey year. If you've ever been involved
in the running ofa regatta, no matter howsmallorcasualtheevent
might be, you know that it's a lot of hard work. Now, if you're
doing to put forth all that effort anyway. why not toot your
newsworthy hom a little and get some publicity for the fleet
scrapbook7 Each and every Hobie Cat fleet has the power to
generate an unbelievable amount of publicity. To find out how.
read the following article by Ellen Horan, Assistant Director
for One-Design Racing, CISYRU.
One of the many concerns an active racing class has
today is publicity and promotion, fields which demand con·
siderable time and hard work but which deserve close
attention. Perhaps some of the following thoughts will help
make your promotion officer's job a bit easier and help
clarify your general approach.
What Others Have Done
Good publicity is an effective way of attracting new people
to your class. Headlines help, but this is only one side of the
promotion picture. You should set up a continuing program
of class exposure via big and small boat shows, how·to
seminars, or open-house aftemoons at the fleet dock or
yacht club. Organizing a special race in which prospective
owners can crew for some of the local talent could be just
the thing to convince a family that your class is just what
it's been looking for.
The boat·show approach has proved successful for a
number of classes. Working in cooperation with a local

dealer, your fleet members can volunteer their time to man
the booth, answer questions, and distribute material. Keeping
a book out for visitors to sign for more information is a good
idea as the follow-up can be most productive. Classes solvent
enough to have a good film to show (Hobie Cat has many
exciting films!) can set up a projector and watch the
crowds gather.
Seminars can be either big or small but demand careful
thought and planning. You will find it is well worth the time
and effort it takes to line up the best class spokesman you
can, either from your own district or from more of a distance.
Impressive seminars have attracted many sailors from other
fleets. A free Beginners' Sailing Seminar, complete with
lectures on racing and boat handling, can be very effective.
Again, your budget and imagination set the limits on a
program of this type. Your boat may be great (there are
many great boats) but camaraderie on shore plays a big
part too and might be the final convincer for a person in
search of both challenge and recreation.
And don't forget the juniors. A special junior day open
house or, if you can manage it, a full-fledged junior program
not limited to your own club or fleet can be a good way to
introduce youngsters (and thus their parents) to the joys
of sailing. Making a boat available to a talented junior for
a weekend or for a season can certainly help spread the word.
The Written Release
Regular, concise, no-nonsense releases sent to appropriate
publications (and addressed to an individual staff member
rather than to the magazine in general) should be a regular
part of your fleet's actMly. National magazines devoted to
the sport want to know what your championship schedule
is, they want to know what's going on in the class, and what
new concepts or ideas or problems you are having. After
a big regatta, a release on the results should be sent out
immediately (and don't forget the Hobie Hot Line, you guys!),
covering what went on and (neatly) listing who the winners
were. Good, clear photographs help! Editors are delighted
to receive glossy 8" x 10" action shots of the racing scene
and what isn't used immediately might well find a place as
a lead picture in a feature story on racing tactics. Again,
this is publicity for the class and your fleet Readers often
ask for more information about a class because of a photograph they saw and liked.
1
Use care in your releases. There is nothing more annoying
and frustrating for an editor than to have to sift through a
lot of sloppy copy full of meaningless items and unanswered
questions. Releases that leave out dates, sponsor names,
first names of participants, and other important information are bad. Sending in poorly exposed, out-of·focus photos
only adds to your budget and fills up editorial wastebaskets.
Unless othenvise requested, reports of most events should
be short (one or two typewritten pages) but thorough.
Local Promotion is Very Important!
On the local level, you will find that your area newspaper
has very different needs from the national magazines. At
the fleet level, one person should be responsible for contacting the sports desk of his newspaper each weekend
with the results of the day's races. Build up a rapport and
keep the appropriate person on the newspaper staff up to
date and well informed about any major events in the area.
He is looking for a good story just as much as you are, and
the easier you make it for him the better. Invite your contact
out for a regatta, encourage him to bring a photographer,
and have a powerboat at their disposal, hianned by some
one who knows the ropes and can answer questions. Supply
him (and any visiting press) with an information packet
that includes background material on the patticipants,
general class information, and any other material which
might inspire him to tum a short report into a major feature:
He may or may not have space for it, but it's worth a try.
1
. 1 - :.-I• .:'·.-2 ..·
And before that big regatta, have the participants give
you the names of their own hometown papers so that some one from the host fleet can call in the results on a daily
basis to those sports editors whose local sailor is doing well.
Sports desks aren't the only departments which you can
involve in your major championships. Try to sell your
feature editor or women's page editor on a human-interest
angle revolving around shoreside activity. Again, plen• y of
warning is a must here so that the newspaper can make
its plans.
Your Fleet Newsletter as a Promotional Tool
One of the best promotional tools that a fleet can have
is its own newsletter. Take a good look at your newsletter.
Is it all that you want it to bei It's not easy to get your reign·
ing hotshot to sit down and write an article, but persistence
can pay off here and what a typewriter won't do perhaps a
tape recorder will. Fleet budgets, of course, determine the
size of your newsletter but even the smallest and least expensive publication can be tops in quali• if those in charge
make a point of it
Your class newsletter can work two ways if you compile
especially helpful technical articles, both basic and advanced,
and distribute them to newcomers or prospecti9e owners.
In addition to your membership list, your fleet newsletter
should also be sent to the local magazines involved with
the sport as well as to selected yacht clubs, junior organizations, and intercollegiate groups with the hopes of interesting a prospective sailor. AL

Once again Lake Havasu experienced the Hobie Way of Ufe
when Hobie Cats from all parts of California and Arizona gathered
along the shores of the Nautical Inn to celebrate the SALH.H.
C.RFAR.R. The four-day event incloded evegthing from playing
bocci ball on the beach to sailing in roaring gusts of up to 52 mph.
Thursday teed off with the Second Annual $1,000 Hole-inOne
Golf Tournament A crowd had gathered around the ninth hole
in anticipation of seeing who would be the first person to land
a holein-one. Unfortunately, no one was that lucky, but John
Golden came close... his drive off the tee landed within inches
of the pin. That's the way the ball bounces, John! But, John was
awarded $50 cash for his efforts. Mike Stapley won the touma.
ment in a sudden death playoff against Gary Spencer and Andy
Kirk. He received a threeday/two-night, all expenses paid trip
to the Nautical Inn.
Friday swung into action with the annual Tennis Tournament
Playoffs lasted through the morning with semi·finals to be held
Saturday. That afternoon a round·theisland fun race was staged
with winds blowing 40 mph and clocked gusts of up to 52 mph!
. There was some question as to whether or not there would be
a race, but the skippers voted unanimously to sail despite the
crews' feelings. (Some skippers did elect to stay on the beach
and watch.) As usual, when the wind blows, there will be a
changing of crews, and several skippers were seen frantically
roaming the beach in search of heavier partners.
The race got off to a great start Boats were going over left
and right. When the boats reached the windward side of the
island, the excitement really started! Gusts of up to 52 mph
52,
were tossing boats upside down as if they were toys. At one
point Ron Wagniere and Steve Myrter were sailing neck and
neck on the downwind leg approaching the London Bridge
and flipped in unison halfway ·through. The only thing the
crowds could see coming out the other side were two turtled
14's with two bewildered skippers!
By Saturday morning, the winds had calmed down enough
for skippers to sail with their normal crews. The first race ran
smoothly... it was not until the second race that evelything
started going downhill (through no fault of the race committee).
During the second race, boats could be seen zig-zagging across
the lake as if they were looking for something... well, they were
and it was D Mark! The race committee had to cancel the
second race for the 16/\'s and B's, 14A's and the 18's due to
Rule 12-Material Prejudice. That night some members of
Fleet 4 spotted D Mark flying over the tents of some water skiers'
campground. The police were notified and the mark was retrieved. Thanks again to Fleet 4 for their heroic endeavor!
During the racing on Saturday, organized children's games
were hosted on the beach by John Curtis. Thirty children participated and were excited to be included in the "big guys" event
The finals for the Tennis Tournament were held Sunday
morning. Defending champions Bob and Jenalyn Beauchamp
once again made a clean sweep to hold their title one more
year. Their prize was a three-day/two-night, all expense paid
ttip to the Nautical Inn.
Sunday morning the winds had died down and by early
afternoon the races had to be cancelled due to lack of wind.

Seems it's always full,on or full-off! It was not a total loss because
yet to come were the hot dog eating and fleet tugof·war contests. The hot dog contest drew a representative from each
fleet but Rich Jeffries had to disqualify one participant, a black
labrador! Scott Berry ( representing Fleet 1 ) and Tudc Gil (repre
senting Fleet 4) were the top contenders for most voracious
consumer of hot dogs in 30 minutes. Chants from Fleets 1 and
4 grew louder and louder when only nine minutes remained...
when both Scott and Turk were on their 12th hot dog. Slowing
down considerably with seven minutes left, they started on their
13th hot dog each. Thirteen was unlucky indeed for Scott Beny
because with one minute left, his body refused to continue and
even gave back the first twelve... Turk Gil of Fleet 4 won byeating
an amazing 131/S hot dogs-how about a wienie for dinner, Turk)
Last on the list of events was the fleet tugof-war contest
Seven fleets were represented by teams consisting often members,
six guys and four girls. During the third heat, the rope broke
four times before they decided to give up on their "magic"
sailing knots and find a new rope (thanks to Dick Beauchamp).
The top brutes in the tug-of-war this year proved to be Fleet 4.
Fleet 1 ended up in last place and for their efforts, a Fleet Enema
was donated to them at the awards presentation.
Awards for best performance by a California and Arizona
fleet went to Fleet 4 of San Diego, California (two-time winners)
and Fleet,88 of Lake Havasu City, Arizona.
The perpetual trophy was awarded to two skippers this year
(there being only one race)-16A top skipper Steve Leo and
14A winner Jamie Olson.

weary racers and late night parties! Photo by Scott Finley
Among the many highlights of the. SA.LH.H.C.F.FAR.R.,
dining at the renowned Waterhole Restaurant rates at the top
with ribs and sandwich dancing the entertainment of the evening.
To beat the high cost of inflation evident at the bar of the
Nautical Inn, Bob and Jenalyn Beauchamp hosted a daquiri
party in their room one evening, and the hotel is still wondering
why their bar bill drastically dropped that night! Many partici·
pants sailed (or power boated, boooO6) back into the canyons
of Lake Havasu to view the breathtaking scenery. The canyons
offered fantastic cliff diving spots for the daring. Saturday night
there was a rib dinner with free CLUB Cocktails.. it appeared
more people showed up for the free cocktails thdn the dinner.
1 think I can say that evelyone in some way experienced the
"Hobie Way of Lif 254'
during their stay at Lake Havasu and in
doing so had a super time. Many thanks to Hobie Cat, Bob Mann
of the London Bridge Sailing Socie• y, Jim Sutt6n, Select Vans,
and THE CLUB for sponsoring such a fun-filled event
