      I'm a big 18 fan - I just don't have one here to showcase

    They are some fine looking boats, nice jib cleat idea, well worth a visit

    Great looking cats and agree totally with the re-imagined look and changes! Wow, those A-class boats look fast just sitting still. I wish Hobie would invest in the business with new colors, and modern changes of materials, engineering and style to their lineup. I think it needs some youthful invigoration! Imho Thanks for sharing.

      I think taking existing popular designs and making them more modern is the best for the classes.

    The best part about this is I may have found an older hobie 18 in need of some love!

    • @JoyriderTV

      Another for the fleet!!!

      Yeah definitely - so good to have it flush with the deck.

    Love every bit of it!. Hobie 18 is the best of them all. Too bad they can't better support it for racing. Great family sport and best of all the cost is low. Hobie has an opportunity they might want to act upon.

      Couldn't agree more!

    My Hobie 18 was in Episode 3 of Show us your Cat😊
    It is great to see that not all older Cats (especially H18)end up rocked down in the grasses and bushes of a sailing Club.

    • @JoyriderTV
      @JoyriderTV  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah for sure, although too many older cats end up in the bushes!

    The H18 is a fast boat on all points of sail. Maybe the best overall beachcat Hobie ever built.

    • @JoyriderTV
      @JoyriderTV  ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm not going to disagree with you there.

    There's a Hobie 18 on a small lake in Wisconsin, U.S., which hasn't been rigged in years. It has yellow hulls and a Taquila Sunrise sails, making it a 1977 or 1978. What's involved in reimagining one of these boats? Can these be safely soloed? I've been soloing a Hobie 16 for many seasons.

    • @JoyriderTV

      All of the reimagined boats are being rebuilt, I think, by John Forbes in Australia.
      I'd head over to the Hobie 18 Reimagined page on facebook to get more information.

      Nice! That looks like a great spot.

    They didn't mention the positive rotation system and the moved trapeze line locations. Tapering the battens has always been class legal and many were already shaped back in the day. Trimming the top of the board off is a little weird as they are so fat they don't hurt and the shroud is right behind them so you never sit there anyway. The rotator really shouldn't have been moved. Instead of simplifying the boat it now means the rotation doesn't move out with the boom when you travel down to go off the wind. Instead of 1 Jam cleat you now need a tramp with a center grommet, blocks and cam cleats to solve a problem that never existed.

      Yes, but all that hoopla produced a lot of hype and that's what is all about.
