Granted, some race primarily to fulfi ll a competitive Wneed and probably the only time the fun factor prevails is for them is when there is a win. The majority of us, on the other hand, enjoy the entire event package, because The Offi cial Publication of the Hobie winning isn't everything. But the racing is why we come, so it is Class Association of North America important that the event be an enjoyable and positive expereience. FALL 2015 We as Hobie sailors and racers like to pride ourselves in the fact that our racing VOLUME 44, NUMBER 2 is fair, fast and fun, with fair being the primary factor in the equation. In order to ensure fairness, we have strict one-design class rules and run our events by the Racing Offi cers Rules of Sailing as published by the International Sailing Federation (ISAF). These Chair Membership Chair Pat Porter Matt Bounds rules are the structure that provides for a fair, and hopefully a safe, playing fi eld. This Secretary brings me to the point. We’re friends and we want to have fun. “We are all friends” Darcy Porter is a two-sided coin or, if you will, a double-edged sword. The positive side is that 2nd Vice Chair Treasurer Tony Krauss Becky Ashburn friends will play fair and others will want to join them. The not so positive side is Youth Program Dir. Race Director when friendship is taken advantage of; rules are bent because friends won’t protest. Christine Bradshaw Mark Santorelli An example of this is crew weight. The weight is close, but no one is going to HOTLINE Design and Production by check. Same for boat weight, you know your boat is light, but there aren’t scales to prove it. The friendship factor continues on the water when rule offenses are treated like “little white lies” because it really didn’t hurt anyone or “that guy never protests.” Another example are minor infractions on the water - your tiller extension brushes Contributors a mark. You know it because you felt it, but nobody saw it, so you keep going.
