With the Pan Am games being in Canada,Sail Canada has been putting on training Camps for the Top teams in each Pan Am Class (Hobie 16 ,Lightenings,Lasers,J-24,Sunfish,Windsurfer...).Each of the Camps had a fitness testing component to it.Just talked with the Head Office and he reported to me that the Hobie 16 Guys & Girls results indicated that they were the fittest group out of all the other Classes.Kind of a nice feather in our caps,I think it was a bit of a eye opener to Sail Canada that Hobie Sailors are a pretty Athletic bunch.
BTW they have us on a specific Hobie 16 Sailing Exercise program.It is pretty intense but very sailing specific exercises.If interested I will see about getting you are program.
