This is actually a pedaling race rather than a sailing event. Most of the TI and AI owners have the fastest pedaling Hobies around, so I hope at least some of you are interested in a little competition! The early notice is allow any who need to, some time to tune up those leg muscles (and make early reservations). A friend and I raced 4 years ago in a TA (stripped TI) and had to race as a "non competitive" class because we were the only pedaling entrant. Nevertheless, we showed pretty well. This year they will designate a Hobie class if at least 5 boats enter. We'll be there again and hope to see at least 4 other Hobies! It's a big race, lots of fun and a great experience racing down the Colorado! Here's the web site for more race and registration info: https://www.facebook.com/ADRanotherdamrace/ Here are some pics of last year's race showing some of the different classes. Kayaks, OC 1's, 2s and surf skis SUPS and related boards OC-6s PS. The race is about 11 miles and the good news is that it's all down hill! |

Interesting!!! We are Lake Havasu winter residents (arriving there sometime in October) with a TI and that does look like fun. It looks like you launch and retrieve at two different resorts and Im wondering if its even possible to use a trailer at those spots (my TI is on a trailer). Or best to car top which may not be so bad since we would only be bringing the main hull? Is there a shuttle or do you have to figure out yourself how to get back to where you parked? Registration fee? I tried to find that but looks like you have to start the registration process to even find out.. Thanks for the info you gave, any more would be welcome. |
