History

Developed by Hobie Cat Europe in 1992 to sit between the 14 and the 16, aimed at sailors who wanted more performance without stepping straight into a full racing cat.

Sailing Characteristics

Quick and lively for its size, with a big enough kite to reward a crew that trims well downwind. Popular as a family boat that still has genuine pace on the water.

Racing Context

Mostly a European class, with club and national fleets concentrated in France and other parts of the Hobie Cat Europe network.
