  • chump23This thread got derailed, but thanks for the answer. I did a search, but couldn't find any info on Performance Cat. Do you know if they still exist?

    They went under in the mid-90s. :(

  • turboratI ran wings on my P19 and the P19MX with a spinnaker. Performance Cat was making them for awhile. Really enjoyed them.

    You wouldn't happen to have any pictures of those wings, would you?

  • What were they thinking with these racks being so low?
    they MUST have gotten wet a lot
    DamonLinkousHobie Europe was all about wings on race boats for a while. And of course the Hobie 21SE and the Hobie 17 were standard with wings, the Hobie 21SE was designed specifically for a professional race circuit.

    Brochure for three types of Hobie wings.

  • They seem low but the FX-1 had pretty high freeboard so the angles work out. Looks at the first picture of the FX-1 flying a hull and the wings are well clear of the water. In person those wings never seemed particularly low.
