History

Hobie Cat Europe's cruising-oriented take on the Hobie 18 hull, built with a smaller sail plan and simpler rigging aimed at day sailors rather than dedicated racers.

Sailing Characteristics

Shares its hulls with the racing Hobie 18 but carries less sail, so it is more relaxed to sail shorthanded and easier to manage with a family crew. The spinnaker is an option for those who want extra pace downwind.

Racing Context

Sailed mostly for club and social racing in Europe rather than at national or world championship level.
