Hobie 16 North American Championships
9/18/04 Final Results, Hobie 16 North Americans Mexicans Armando Noriega and Roderigo Achach are the
new Hobie 16 North American Champions. Noriega is a
Pan-Am Games silver medallist in the Hobie 16 but the
title of North American Champion is a first for him
and for Achach. The team dominated the seventy-one
catamaran fleet, on Lake Oneida in Syracuse NY, finishing
twenty two points ahead of the second place team, and
2004 Alter Cup Champions, Mike Montague and Cathy Ward
from California. Defending Champions Paul and Mary Ann
Hess finished fourth.
The regatta came to an anticlimactic end on Friday with only one race started in winds just above the class minimum wind strength of five knots. The conditions where light and shifty for most of the week with the exception of Tuesday when the winds topped out at about fifteen knots.

- Armando Noriega and Roderigo Achach
- Mike Monntague and Cathy Ward
- Bob Merrick and Eliza Cleveland
- Paul Hess and Mary Ann Hess
- Wall Myers and Tyler Myers
