Hobie 16: Keeping the Spirit Alive
Video by Hobie Class / Gary Jobson – I started sailing in a Hobie 16 and without a doubt there is no other OD Class that can match the comradeship and competition level, plus being an excellent learning platform. If you can sail & race a Hobie 16 above 16knots you are ready to sail anything.
I hope Hobie as a company and a Class can look forward to maintain those great values in the long term, as creating H16 new fleets from scratch is rather rare nowadays.
I would definitely launch a new Hobie daggerless 16 for the long long term to being able to form these new fleets to keep the Hobie way alive for many years to come.
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
