Boat Description
The Wild Cat, designed by Hobie Cat Europe in conjunction with Australian Martin Fischer, is along similar lines to the other current F18’s with its wave piecing shape and reverse bow stem giving it a very distinctive look.
The hulls are the most visible update for the new Hobie, but when looking closely every component has been developed to the latest and highest quality. The extreme high aspect centerboards and the super slick wing mast section just all add to the whole package of a great race boat, which is built by Hobie Cat Europe in Toulon/France.
The Hobie class has been involved with the Formula 18 since its beginning in the early 90’s and with the Tiger class won 6 World titles. Now with the new Wild Cat, Hobie hopes to continue their record in what has become the most competitive beach cat class in the world today.
