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

Dont agree with Torvar's assesment that it is a high tech design, obviously he wanted to deliver a positive story about this still very cool boat.
Marstrom has been stubornly sticking to their same-old designs (M20/A-Cat) for centuries now without keeping up with the latest trends like wave-piercing bows etc.
I also dont understand why it doesnt have a jib, this would greatly improve performance during reaching etc.
Torvar is well experienced to asses that the M32 is a state of the art multihull.. He sailed a X40 for a few months, and that design is clearly on the bleeding edge of design 🙂
