Hobie Cats will be out in force this coming weekend for the Rubicon (Jersey) Channel Islands Hobie Cat Championships being held in St. Aubin's bay. This will be the 24th year this major event in the Channel Islands Hobie racing calendar has been held.

All Hobie racing classes will be competing including the largest class, the Hobie 16's, the Powerful Hobie 18 Tigers and Wildcats and the Junior Hobie Dragoons. As well class trophies, there are awards for Youth, Women, and Masters in the Hobie 16 event.
