The beauty of the Hobie 16 as a racing catamaran. If you are looking to go racing on catamarans or you would just like a bit of fun then the Hobie 16 is a great cat to get started on. Our events are friendly and fun and open to all sailors even those who have had little racing experience.
Join the growing fleet of Hobie 16s racing regularly in the UK. With used boats available from as little as £1500 and a local fleet at Poole Yacht Club you can enjoy the challenge of racing on a Hobie 16 at local club level or in the Hobie 16 Nationals at Poole Yacht Club. Additional training events can be booked in advance of the Nationals if required. If you would like us to organize a race training event, get in touch and let us know that you are interested.
