No I don't, something I grabbed at some point so I wouldn't have to keep asking Jerome what the NEW start sequence was. That's a laser class flag. It would make a great sticker.

Tepe: That's some pretty big optimism there....gonna kick everyone's ass. Not only do you party like a 20 year old, you dream like one!
rondog: It is highly unlikely that there will be enough H18s for a separate class, and the Magnums have the same rating as the standard, so you should be racing other H18s boat for boat, but probably in an open class.
Boz: Well said, my friend.
In case anyone is interested, my two cents on the class legal thing......If you have a H16 that isn't class legal, that doesn't mean you can't race. As Boz says, you should at least meet minimum crew weight and have Hobie sails (I would have just said not oversized or square top) to race in the H16 class. If not, you simply take the appropriate corrections to you Portsmouth (handicap) number and race in the open class (like ConnerG said). I suspect that the majority of the violators are in one of two groups. The first are newer folks who don't know much about the rules, haven't dealt with the Portsmouth system much, and aren't too much of a threat to take a trophy. (We were all there once!) The second group are those who cheat, who know they're cheating, who don't care that anyone else knows they're cheating, and who don't care that I'm dissing them right now on the interweb!
See you all Friday!

Jerome, I am an optimist! The idea that one of these years, the wind God's decide to blow me past all of you guys is what motivates me to drive 13 hours for this race, and seeing all of the wonderful people! And I resemble that remark.... I do drink like a twenty year old! Love ya brother!

Sorry to go off topic but instead of starting a whole new thread can I just ask simply if the magnum is an identical boat to the classic H18 but just with wings?
Btw, magnum class rules say wings must be run. how firm will the rules be adheared if a racer does not? If someone protested I guess that would be grounds for a DQ? Yes?

Yes, Hobie 18 Magnum is a Hobie 18 with Magnum (or SX) wings.
Don't think there is such a thing as "Magnum class rules".
Don't confuse the fact that the Hobie 18 and Hobie 18 with wings (Magnum) having the same Portsmouth Rating with the Hobie Class Association rules for a Hobie sanctioned race, but it's always up to the race committee and the fellow competitors how much "wiggle room" is allowed. I've raced Hobie events with my wings, it's really an additional weight penalty that I don't need, rather than a benefit in most cases.

Wings on or off portsmouth rating for stock 18, two crew, no square top is 71.4. Depending on the wind speed, racing with wings on does slow you down due to extra weight as compared to a non-winged 18. If it is howling I always feel it is an advantage to race with wings on . Just my feeling. -

Tepe: If I still stayed up all night and had cornflakes in a can for breakfast like you boys, you'd definitely be passing us. Hell, in addition to a good night's sleep, I've been know to require a nap on Saturday afternoon if we finish the distance race quick enough! Regardless of any race scoring cards, Team Tepe are no doubt the Kings of the Good Time Regatta!
See ya' tomorrow, Your Highness!
