Hobie Cat Wave

Hobie 16

With it's legendary design and recent induction into the Sailing Hall of Fame, the Hobie 16 is truly in a class of its own. The 1996 Hobie 16 World Championship held in The United Arab Emirates drew over 300 teams from 55 countries competing on new, factory-supplied boats. New in 1997 are the Hobie 16's European style corner castings, pylons and rudder gudgeons for improved racing qualities. Powerful enough to challenge veteran sailors yet easy enough for beginners, the Hobie 16 is the perfect all-around cat. Twenty five years of racing and going stronger than ever. The Hobie 16.... the ultimate one design racing class.
