Wyatt...I think a lot of fleets around the country are asking the same question. As I understand it (and if I'm wrong somebody step in and correct me). Your organization can still conduct events with non hobies however if you hold an HCA IHCA sanchioned regatta, use the Hobie name, materials, trademark etc. then the new policy applies.

For example Fleet 250 exists within the Sandy Hook Bay Catamaran Club. Fleet 250 will hold a points regatta this summer and the new policy will apply. SHBCC will run the Statue race and an F18 regatta open to all brands. For the most part all these events will be organized by the same people.
