  • Wave and Welcome to the HOBIE® Sailing Family
    WELCOME TO THE HOBIE WAY OF LIFE Congratulations on the purchase of your new Wave and welcome to the HOBIE® sailing family. The HOBIE Wave cannot be outgrown. It can be sailed by children up through senior citizens. A 90-pound youth can han- dle it easily – a single adult can sail it at top performance – and a crew of four can cruise in comfort. We offer this manual as a guide to increased safety and enjoyment of your new boat. The purpose of this pub- lication is to provide easy, simple and accurate instructions on how to get your Wave ready for the water. Please read them carefully and familiarize yourself with the boat and all of the parts spread before you. Whether you are a new sailor or a veteran of many years, we recommend that you read this thoroughly before your first sail and TRY IT OUR WAY FIRST! If you are new to sailing, this manual alone is not intended to teach you how to sail. There are many excellent books, videos and courses on the safe handling of small sail- boats. We suggest that you contact your local sailboat dealer, college or Coast Guard Auxiliary for recommen- dations. Watch for overhead wires whenever you are rigging, launching, sailing or trailering with the mast up. CON- TACT OF THE MAST WITH POWER LINES COULD BE FATAL! Be certain that the rigging area and the area that you will be sailing in are free of overhead power lines. Report any such power lines to your local power authority and SAIL ELSEWHERE.

  • 2019 One Design Classes and Sailor Survey
    2019 One Design Classes and Sailor Survey [email protected] One Design Classes and Sailor Survey One Design sailing is a critical and fundamental part of our sport. In late October 2019, US Sailing put together a survey for One Design class associations and sailors to see how we can better serve this important constituency. The survey was sent via email, as a link placed on our website and through other USSA Social media channels. The survey was sent to our US Sailing members, class associations and organizations, and made available to any constituent that noted One-Design sailing in their profile. Some interesting observations: • Answers are based on respondents’ perception of or actual experience with US Sailing. • 623 unique comments were received from survey respondents and grouped into “Response Types” for sorting purposes • When reviewing data, please note that “OTHER” Comments are as equally important as those called out in a specific area, like Insurance, Administration, etc. • The majority of respondents are currently or have been members of US Sailing for more than 5 years, and many sail in multiple One-Design classes • About 1/5 of the OD respondents serve(d) as an officer of their primary OD class; 80% were owner/drivers of their primary OD class; and more than 60% were members of their primary OD class association. • Respondents to the survey were most highly concentrated on the East and West coasts, followed by the Mid- West and Texas – though we did have representation from 42 states, plus Puerto Rico and Canada. • Most respondents were male.

Another way to put it: we’re a diverse group of guys and gals banded together to enjoy the fun and sport of sailing. Our clubhouse becomes a second home to many and a place to hang out with good friends. Our members enjoy the spectrum of sailing activities. The Club is a gathering place for organized and spontaneous races, sailing excursions and rendezvous, training in sailing and racing (open to the public), and finally, parties and dinners. The active members who get the most out of the Club participate in the development of sailing fleets, operations and maintenance of our facilities, organization of events, and long-term planning for the success of the Club. According to our Bylaws, membership capacity is limited to 220 family and individual memberships. One third of these memberships are available for Associate members. Types of Memberships Members can join the UKSC in one of three membership classes: Regular - A resident or property owner in the Upper Keys (Long Key Bridge to the Monroe County line), and an owner of a sailboat that can sail at the club.
