Hobie Division 7 is a member division of the Hobie Class Association of North America. Our division includes, North & South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and the Southern Middle of Canada. We are a racing group focused on a One Design Class of Hobie Cat Sailboats. Our races are called regattas and are held nearly every other weekend at locations like Storm Lake, Saylorville, Clear Lake, Green Lake, and Lewis & Clark Reservoir. 

Our group is family oriented with awesome youth programs designed to help kids 21 and under learn to sail and race. Typical regattas start on a Friday with after work travel, camping under the stars with a great campfire, racing on Saturday & Sunday, and an easy drive home Sunday afternoon.

If you are interested in learning to sail and join our group please contact one of our members. We are always looking to introduce someone to sailing and help them become involved!
