Some people have been talking about Cats and particularly Hobies not having a good "image", but I don't agree with that. Here in the UK it is time of year that all the holiday adverts appear on the TV and in Newspapers.

I always find it astonishing how often catamarans are used in the adverts. There is a current TV comercial (for Egypt I think) that features a Hobie 16 flying a hull. There hardly seems to be a brochure that does not feature a picture of a Hobie on it.

These companies spend alot of money on getting thier image right, someone must be telling them that a Hobie presents a certain positive image.

My home town Brighton often uses our catamarans in its promotional material, the Brighton calander features them, a number of postcards for the town feature the Hobies, also our most famous artist uses them regularly in his paintings.
When the BBC did a holiday TV slot about Brighton they featured some film of our Sunday morning racing.

The brochure I got through the door this morning was full of pictures of Cats, a H16, Fox, Tiger etc. Mind you it was a Wildwind brochure
