On a proposal from the European Hobie Class Association (EHCA), the International Hobie Class Association (IHCA) Council was requested at the recent AGM to consider and review the minimum combined crew weight at Hobie Cat 16 youth events.
With the outset in weight statistics from Youth World and European Championships with averages ranging from 124 kg up to 129 kg, the IHCA Council agreed to the minimum combined Hobie Cat 16 youth crew weight should be raised to 118,2 kg.
