I just heard that my great sailing friend and former CEO of Hobiecat Europe has passed. May The endless oceans…
...Report was sent by an F18 Sailor, if you want Hobies reported send your own, we'll publish as usual. Cheers.
Looks like in your report the Hobies are not really present. Suggest to rewrite the article.
Thanks for the great report Wik. Great battle.
If I correctly read the results the overall winner this year is a Hobie16

And why isn’t the Ishares or some similar series coming to the States? Anyone who watched the VOR races in Boston last weekend will testify to the sucess of that event, despite some lackluster promotion. The offshore race was good, as we watched from a boat in fog and not much wind, but the in port pro-am race was GREAT! Didn’t hurt that there was a 30mph breeze but regardless, up close , spectator friendly racing is a fantastic way to get people excited about boats and sailing. Someone needs to get this going in the US!

I think now with Oracle racing Multis, LE can push to have a promotional VX40 event at the US, if someone can take a Multi show to America, is him. Spithill will participate with an Oracle team this season.
I understand iShares is a an UK based company with main market in Europe. And logistics are not an issue within EU.
