Funny, yes. I don't know if it's actually ever been tested but it did come up when the Hobie Wave guys put together a "worlds"...they changed the name to something like Inter-Galactic championship or something.
Actually, the regatta was held by the Turks & Caicos, and it was the Wave World Championship. As far as us promoting it in the United States to get people to go to it, we were under intense pressure from ISAF and from US Sailing to change the name to something that would not imply in any way that it was a world championship. They suggested "Intergalactic," because, thankfully, ISAF has not yet extended its governing authorities beyond this planet.
The only reason we knuckled under and briefly changed the name to Intergalactic was because we had a youth sailor coming to the event, and we did not want him to be disqualified from being able to race in ISAF youth events just because of participating in the (illegal) Wave Worlds.
As it turned out, he came to the event and won the whole thing. And his trophy says "Wave Worlds."
