The Hobie One-Design Concept
There are many different models (“classes”) of Hobie Cats to suit a variety of uses, crew weights and sailing styles. While several classes are predominantly recreational, the racing models are called “One-Design Classes” and modifications are stricly controled by a set of class rules. Some of the racing classes are “International Classes” as defined by the International Sailing Federation (ISAF), the governing body for the sport of sailing.
