PRESS RELEASE 46 KNOTS ON FIRST DAY HOBIE CAT 16 WORLDS 2005 Races cancelled Port Elizabeth / South Africa, October 25th 2005 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Tuesday October 25th, the Hobie Cat 16 World Championships 2005 started with wind gusts up to 46 knots. The Indian Ocean in the Nelson Mandela Bay looked sunny, but very rough, with high seas. All races were cancelled due to the extreme conditions. Some competitors hung around at the Port Elizabeth Beach Sailing Club and others did some sightseeing in the beautiful South African area. It was supposed to be the first racing day for three classes: fifty-three masters, eleven women and nineteen youth Hobie 16 teams. Over the last couple of days, Hobie Beach has been transformed into a real Hobie Cat scene, with sailors from all over the world, of all ages and abilities. Sixty brand new 16s are assembled and ready to go. Since 24 hours, all boats had to be dismasted due to the high wind. Further details will be posted in the racing forum: http://www.hobiecat.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=2608 and on the Hobie Class Website of course! www.hobieworlds.com |
