Would hydrofoils help here?

1:29 - Very nice classical Omega Geneva watch our sailor is wearing there.😀

11:52 Girl in red really knows how to hike out and gyrating with legs apart! Titillating sight, man!

Hi, would it be possible to use a clip from this video for a video I am making on the inspiration behind a world hobie cat racer?

Looks like a handful!

nice one, love the videos

Awesome. You guys are going places not many sailors would dare. Nice work.

I just got a 1978 14 ive been working on and looking to add a Trapeze I have a Stryker on it, curious how your Trapeze lines and elastic line run? as your boat is similar to mine.

We fear it, we don`t want it... But we Love it :)

Our cousin came in 8th in this race…Andrew Zinn

cool!!

Great to see clips like this! The Hobie one by Bruce Brown was one of the best sales videos of all time!

Mate you need to come on up for a Keppels trip! Lots of this footage is from ages ago! :D

Now try putting 6 people on the wasp with a six pack.... It's not all about speed

Cool! my old Hobie 16, the "orange crush" sail number 23053, is the intro! Very cool to see it sailing decades before I owned it (and better than I ever sailed it!).

I sailed hobies in the late 80's early 90's, I had magazine cut out with pictures of the sand sailing and the surfing/jumping on my wall, so glad the algo fed me this and you guys for posting it. Those jumps are still the most epic I have seen

I cannot believe how bad you lot are with your tacking 😔😔😔😔😔

Calling "water" at the mark with no overlap and inside 3 boat lengths!!!! You had no rights, otherwise great footage and an amazing place to sail

Great clip! -- Brings back that initial excitement of my first Hobie 16 ride at 13 in the early 70's that got me hooked. After a lifetime of sailing starting with a Hobie 10 at 11 years of age, 16s then windsurfing expanding to kitesurfing. Today I find myself still in love with the sport fueled by my current Hobie Magnum 18.

I wonder if a Hobie 14 turbo may have passed them?

great Channel

Great sail trim, especially the jib!

How does your back take it over the waves? Think I'd rather be out on the trapeze for a bit of suspension in my legs...

I was there!

What a champ - good job Eli 👍And good mentoring Helm 🤘

Very nice 👍

Hi, I saw your TH-cam channel video and understood that Very nice video. You have 596 subscribers but videos are not more watched and subscribers because your video is not SEO. I have analyzed and realized that your TH-cam channel is not progressing and improving. It is responsible for: 1. Not SEOing channel videos properly. 2. None of your videos tags. 3. There is no good tag in the channel. 4. Keywords used are not researched properly. 5. Videos are not promoted properly. 6. The description is not attractive. Do you want TH-cam full services can I help you?

Love it. Just curious about why you went to Jarvis Bay. I was thinking of purchasing here in Victoria, but now I am not so sure if that is a good idea.

Goodluck. She’s a beaut!

Having recently purchased a Hobie 16 and a Hobie 14 (both vastly different to what I am used to racing, an Arrow), these tips are very helpful. Appreciate the effort.

I happen to see "Share the Wind 1979" the other day. I own an 1982 18, sail number 6708, which I bought in 1986 from a nice Australian chap in Silicon Valley. My 21 year old boys and I sail it mainly in the Central Valley where the water is warm. However, I race on other peoples boats out of Santa Cruz and there are more than a few people I sail with that want to take it out to surf on the cold ocean swells here, so we will see what happens in 2024. Hobie 14, 16 and 18s are great boats. The 17 to my eye did not hit it's market and the 20 seemed like a me too, addition. Forget the roto molded junk you find at the resorts today. The 33 is popular around here now, like the Tartan 10 is in the Midwest, but neither were big sellers back in the day, go figure. Now Hobie is the "kayak giant Hobie Cat"... and I think everything really has to be carbon and foil if it is in the "new" sailing market.

How cool! Thanks!

One of them ended up on the beach!

This was interesting and informative. I'm now setting up my H16, tho with H14, mast, sails and boom. I'm utilizing extra parts, and doing some "jury' rigging. Things I do different, when I assemble other boats I have. I put a board on top of my crossbars, to walk on when raising or lowering the mast. And if I don't have the pin, for the mast base, I wrap flexible wire, around the mast, and crossbar, it acts like a hinge. And also,, I put a pully on the bridle wires,, where they meet. Then attach a rope, to the forestry, and pull it,, as I lift the mast.. The parts needed, are really expensive, try to find used ones. Gooseneck, cost about $60., new. I'm now trying to make one, it seems possible. I don't know tho, until I try it out.

More rig tension for more wind. Less tension is going to power you up while more tension flattens your sail, depowering and letting you point higher in heavy air

Awesome channel! Great videos - learning heaps!

My dad taught me how to sail on a bright yellow Hobie 14’. I absolutely love a Hobie Cat.

Удивительно! Я ожидал совершенно другого результата) Спасибо за видео! ❤

Bad news was a legend ❤

thanks for sharing ! classic Hobie Cat history,... beautiful images,.. !!

Nice sailing guys! Howdy from Texas USA

Got to love that flat water and consistent winds. A bit of bearing away could push you over 20 kn.

Anyone remember the 1993 nationals in freo I was there with fresh ,

Epic. Capsize on the start line.... Nice vid!

Why do you destroy such great sailing footage with music that is beyond inappropriate? When did a member of Cold Chisel last sail a ‘14’? I want to watch sailing with the associated soundtrack, not what turns you on.

Hobie did this like 40 years ago with it's "Tri-Foiler"

Have not rigged a 16 since 1979, I do know that the next owner had the rudder bolts fall off, bet I had 2000 miles of road time with the rudders hanging going to races. Back in the day we would have 300 Hobie's at a race in TX OK & Kansas.
