<br>Builder's Remarks
<br>Meet the cat of choice for racers around the world. Specially engineered to set a rapid new pace for the 90s, the Hobie Miracle 20 is designed with every "go fast" feature imaginable, virtually all as standard equipment that would be costly options on other boats. The Harken 8:1 downhaul and prebent Comptip mast enable power at the top of the sail to be controlled, even while trapezing. And, with Harken equipment throughout, quality is guaranteed. For even more control, all jib sheet, jib lead, downhaul and mast rotation adjustments can be made from the trapeze.
<br>
<br> --The Hobie 20 would place in catagory one 410LB boats and above with av 330 LB crew.It could upgrade sail areas allowed per catagory making it equal in performance rating with the Inter 20 . The Hobie 20 being allowed more sail area in proportion to added total weight.
<br> The existing Length of hulls would allow a v shape transom extention to a full 20 ft if desired . Basic platform ,boards, rudders,mast ,gear,equipement and sails may be modified per owners requirements and individual sailing style.<br><br>
