About
The Hobie 16 is the best-selling catamaran of all time — more than 100,000 built. Asymmetric hulls eliminate daggerboards, kick-up rudders let you beach-launch, and the trampoline and dual trapezes deliver legitimately fast, wet, exciting sailing. Still actively raced internationally and the default beach cat at resorts worldwide.
