I LOVE RACING SAILBOATS
Especially Hobie catamarans
The Hobie 16 revolutionized multihull sailing. The Hobie 16 was
unleashed on the Southern California beach scene in 1970 and sailing was
instantly transformed. The beach-launched Hobie 16 brought the sport to
legions of speed-loving sailors. The catamaran’s lightweight,
asymmetrical fiberglass hulls provide lift and its dual-trapeze rig lets
you and your crew member harness its sheer power. Now, 45 years and over
100,000 boats later, the Hobie 16 occupies a coveted spot in the
Sailboat Hall of Fame and consistently delivers big-grin sailing and
world-class racing. Fly a hull and you’ll understand the global
obsession!
