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.
