Hobie Cat Kills the Hobie 17 and Hobie 18 catamaran sailboats.
Rumors about the demise of the Hobie 17 and Hobie 18 are true, here is a statement directly from the Hobie Cat Company. Please add your comments to this article, I'd like to know how cat sailors feel about this.
Dear Hobie Sailors,
October 9, 2003: It is always difficult to come to the end of an "era", but Hobie Cat Company has had to face the fact that it is no longer economically feasible to continue to build our Hobie 17 Special Editions and Hobie 17 Sports, as well as our Hobie 18 Special Editions and Hobie 18 SX's. Both the 17 and 18 enjoyed life cycles that would make any manufacturer proud. More importantly, we are proud of the introduction to sailing and enjoyment they provided to so many people for so many years. For us, it is like saying goodbye to old friends.

International Catamaran Challenge Trophy, Defenders and Challengers Arriving in Newport.
Three Italian Teams Set Sights on Trophy.
NEWPORT, R.I. (September 24, 2003) - Organizers of the International Catamaran Challenge Trophy (ICCT) have welcomed the event's first competitors to Newport in advance of the 23rd running of this event, which makes its return with a new format after a hiatus of more than seven years. The event, better known as "The Little America's Cup," will take place September 28-October 3, 2003, from Sail Newport's facility at Fort Adams. This match racing competition, complete with pre-start maneuvers and the typical one-on-one moves that make its namesake so intriguing, adds the dynamic of being sailed in F-18HT catamarans -- mutihulls that go three times the speed of monohulls.
