Saw a fella over on the ebay wanted 15 bucks for a Hobie catalog. It does make excellent reading. A good refrence for parts and such, Get'em at the dealers or as a pdf at Hobbie website.
Question...
How much does my "vintage" 2010 catalog go for?

I received my copy of Catamaran Racing for the 90's yesterday. Looks like a great book - this should make a great reference and answer questions. Thanks for the recommendations.
Ya it is a great read. I am still working through mine but I have all ready learned a lot. I wish they would make and ebook version so I can have it on my iPad

Hmm find a cheap one, cut the binding off and run it through a scanner. But don't tell Rick, he would absolutely shit.

I re-read the appendices of 'cat racing for the 90s' every couple months and still find something interesting every time through.

I ordered a copy. It should be here by Thursday.
Buy the "Catamaran Sailing DVD" by Mobilis Productions, www.mobilisproductions.com. Expensive but very helpful.
