This probably only applies if you're a member of US Sail and want to compete in the Alter Cup trials and Alter Cup. Hawaii has been broken off from the Pacific Northwest and is now the only part of Area H. That means someone from Hawaii can try to make the show without competing against Mainland teams.

Currently, the only way to qualify is attend the Area L race that'll be somewhere in Washington. To get a qualifier in Hawaii a PRO and judge approved by the US Sail multihull chairman must be found. It'll also require an event staff that would probably come from a local YC.

The 2007 Cup will be run on Blade 16s.
