Dear class members,
As published in our post on 24/01/2025, following the comment period, the proposed change proposals to Hobie General Rule 10, Hobie 14 Rule 5.1 c), and Hobie 16 Rule 6.1 c) were foreseen to go into effect on 01/06/2025 pending approval from the IHCA Council and World Sailing.
The required approvals are now in place.
The wording has been further clarified by the Rules Committee (based on the feedback received during the comment period) and finally by World Sailing. However, the intent and aim of the proposed changes remain unchanged.
