Dear class members,
As announced in September the implementation of the changes to the trampoline rules for the Hobie Wave, Hobie 17, Hobie 18, and Hobie 20 depended on a World Sailing (WS) approval of the change to General Class Rule 16.5. A change is the prerequisite for the other rule updates. Click here for background.
WS has now approved the change to General Class Rule 16.5. Hence, we are pleased to announce this and the updated trampoline rules for Hobie Wave, Hobie 17, Hobie 18, and Hobie 20 will go into effect as of December 11th, 2023.
