Catsailing
Excellent video to transmit some of the vibes that we have sailing performance cats. All cats are special, but if you only sailed till now an H16, be happy to know that it gets even better than that.

I just heard that my great sailing friend and former CEO of Hobiecat Europe has passed. May The endless oceans…
...Report was sent by an F18 Sailor, if you want Hobies reported send your own, we'll publish as usual. Cheers.
Looks like in your report the Hobies are not really present. Suggest to rewrite the article.
Thanks for the great report Wik. Great battle.
If I correctly read the results the overall winner this year is a Hobie16

The insinuation that Hobie 16s are not performance cats, is an ancient kvetch from sailors who resented the big H16 fleets and championships, and who wouldn't compete in them.

Actually the H16 is the worst cat ever designed. Alter was just a better marketer than the Shark guys or the SeaSpray guys.
Its a difficult boat to sail and yet people still promote it to beginners and youth!
The H16 is way past its glory days and its time to move into the 20th century.
H16 caused all the monohull guys to joke about tacking abilities of cats [with reason, the boat is a dog]
