HOBIE 15 – Versatile Sport Catamaran

Hobie 15 is a stable, reliable and easy-to-handle sport catamaran designed for sailing schools, family leisure, training and intensive recreational use. Its wide platform and excellent buoyancy provide a stable sailing experience, making it suitable for both beginners and more experienced sailors.

The catamaran features fiberglass/foam sandwich hull construction and is equipped with a mainsail and jib. The mainsail includes reefing points, allowing the sail area to be reduced when sailing in stronger wind conditions.

The hulls feature interchangeable keel protection, while anti-slip surfaces provide additional grip when moving around the catamaran platform.
