Winter’s well and truly here, but has that ever stopped us before?
The first half of the 2023 Australian Hobie Cat Championship Tour is all but packed away for the winter, it’s time to start looking forward to what’s coming up on the Hobie Family’s calendar.
The Hobie 14 class is only getting stronger around the country, and during the ‘off-season’, it’s about time we begin training, developing and fine tuning our skills as helms on the original off-the-beach catamaran.
