Well, I couldn't resist showing you a few images from the recent Hobie Worlds competition held in May 2004 off the coast of Mexico. These are Hobie 16's, the same boat type we sail. No, I wasn't there but it sure would have been nice! |

Awesome start of a race. 120 boats total in four classes. As you will see racing these boats is the ultimate adrenaline rush! |

Rounding the "A" mark and attempting to set sail trim for a fast run, things get out of control - fast! |

Look carefully! The waves are so large that the boat in front disappears from sight while the boat behind rides the top of a wave. |
