Hobie Tiger F18

The Hobie Tiger is quite simply the most successful F18 on the market. In 2005 the Tiger managed a clean sweep - winning all the major cat events, this winning streak continued in 2006 with the first major event of the year at Carnac being won by the Tiger.

The Hobie Cat Centre and Hobie Europe provide a fast and efficient supply of spare parts to customers and they are also support the larger events with spare parts on site- keeping the Tiger crews on the water.

The Tiger is an ISAF international Class in it own right which means Tiger sailors have the option to sail in Tiger Class Events as well as the F18 events.
