H18SX
H20
H21
H. trifoiler
Tiger
Fox (although this died rather quickly)
FX-one
Wave
Getaway
Bravo


14 different designs/classes that I could write down in the span of 30 seconds.

Most of them have been terminated now that is true, but that was also sort of necessary.

Many of those came and went before others were introduced.
In North America, there are only these classes presently racing (followed by % of attendance at HCA Events):

Hobie 14 - 4%
Hobie Wave - 1% (does not include IWCA events)
Hobie 16 - 52%
Hobie 17 - 12%
Hobie 18 - 12%
Hobie 20 - 13%
Hobie Tiger OD - 6%

There were approximately 1,750 attendees at HCA sanctioned events in 2009.
