Recognized around the world as one
of the finest performance multihulls,
the HOBIE CAT 18 SE is one of the
world's largest catamaran racing classes.
The high flotation, symmetrical hull
shape is perfect for fastsailing and has
the capacity to carry up to four people
for fun cruising. Powered by a horizontal-
cut dacron sail which features a large
roller furling jib, the HOBIE 18 offers a
unique blend of high performance
technical sailing with the fun and durability
that Hobie Cats are famous for. Also

vertical-cut mylar sails and wing seats as
