Hobie Europeans 2011
The Hobie Europeans web site has the Notice of Race, online entry form, accommodation and lots more information.
As always the Hobie Europeans is a high quality Hobie event and it should not be missed.
Lake Neusiedl and its countryside are well known for their hospitality and friendliness. An area rich of wineries and nice people will be our hosts in 2011. I could personally check the area already in 2007 and again in 2011 and can tell you, that this is an excellent venue.
Warm water and warm air temperatures are perfect hosts to make an event like the Hobie MultiEuropeans again a memorable event that the world will talk about!
Smooth grass areas for both, boats and tents just situated at the beaches of Lake Neusiedl will make it easy to run an event like this.
A bar and restaurant at the yacht club will be good for the Après-Sailing-Time. The dealer being just close by and ready for support.
Also the accompanying families will meet their advantages – lots of things to do, a swimming area close by with a nice playground, nice countryside, perfect for taking a ride on the bicycle or the train station that will take you in less than an hour to downtown Vienna – a site perfect for your vacation and Hobie Life!
