America’s Cup Endeavour Hobie Regatta for Junior Sailors
For all the junior sailors (15 years old or younger by December 31, 2017), imagine being in Bermuda in June 2017 when the America’s Cup is being raced. Launching a Hobie Wave from the official America’s Cup marina. Racing close to the America’s Cup finish line. Fifty meters from the shoreline in front of the main America’s Cup grandstand. An estimated 10,000 people in the marina and over 500 million people watching on the internet or TV.
This dream can be a reality for some lucky Hobie sailors. This is an opportunity for our junior sailors not to miss. Please get your sailors to sign up as soon as they can and be a part of the 35th America Cup. Visit Hobie’s” America’s Cup Endeavour webpage for more information including the notice of race and application instructions.
