Wilcox has had no - 'll-#*A previous sailing experience. - * , , The West Coast had sent their finest. From Capistrano Beach, California, came Wayne Schafer, who is considered to be one of the toughest competitors in the world. Wayne has placed 2nd in the past 3 National Hobie 14' Regattas, and lost to Wilcox by nine points. Consistant race winner from Newport Beach, John Ross-Duggan, struggled .,fi• I• .-*.1 through the grueling, light air to capture a third place. Another Southland sailor, Mike Staudt, of Fontana, 1. il r California, sailed a very consistent series and came in one point. behild John Ross-Duggan. Barry Olton drove 8,000 miles from Merritt Island, Florida, to drift into Sth place. Many sailors, like Dick Beauchamp, suffered many times by sailing into " holes." Desert lakes are notorious for incon- sistant breeze and strange wind shifts. Even the best sailor can sail into a hole in.light air and watch the fleet go by. Lake Havasu is always an exciting place to sail: the wind is so inconsistent that ·there is no way of planning your strategy. The breeze freshened to one knot for the first race . and increased from 15 to 19 knots the last day of the hot and heavy competition. There was a warm desert breeze with sunny skies, smooth water; perfect sailing conditions. 3. 3- Wilcox sailed so well with three firsts and a second that X- . he didn't even have to sail the last race.

While the skippers were hard at work racing their Hobies, Schlitz The regatta was a true test of patience, skill and tactics Beer Company made the stay on the beach'most relaxing for all. With varied wind conditions from very light to for wives and friends who soaked up the sun and swapped moderate, the 1978 Nationals offered sailing conditions that stories of past regattas. met everyone's particular style of sailing. Coast Catamaran's Paul Collins had the dubious honor The Nautical Inn at Lake Havasu provided comfortable of relinquishing his room to none other than tennis pro- rooms and excellent food at reasonable prices, and the Lake motor Bobby Riggs who unfortunately came, not to race, Havasu Yacht Club furnished committee boats and were but to jump off the·toddon:Brjdge! :. extremely efficient in running and scoring the regatta. 14' HOBIE CAT NATIONALS Lake Havasu City, Arizona A FLEET A FLEET Posi- Total Posi- Total tion Nome Sail No.1 23 4 5 6 Points lion Name Sail No.1 2 3 4 5 6 Points 1.

HOBIE 1 4 JIB KIT GOOD/BAD The Hotline. advertising policy is to inake items of iriterest available to all Hobie owners and due to the many irlquiries regarding the 14' jib kit, we are publishing the 5 .4 fbllowing article to accompany an advdrtisement from - a f.,- :- .93 Florida supplier. The reason Hobie didn't design the boat with a jib is . .".3,1.*'.,a* Because he wanted a boat that was very simple to sail. A jib . #N. *.4 '30 . would complicate the boat beyond the one-man, no-crew fun or competitive sailing idea. • *el The HOTLINE contacted Peter L. V. Hutchinson, V.
