Hobie Cat 16   : 2-men catamaran      5.11   20.0   154    -      -
The Hobie 16 is the most popular catamaran in the world
by far. It is very fast and almost indestructible.
This boat designed by Hobie Alter has no centreboards
and therefore it's course stabillity is defined by the
position of the crew.
If the Hobie dives into the waves it can come a cropper.
The IYRU gave this characteristic hull shaped boat the
international status.
