For a light weight and fast cat that was built before the Hobie 14, take a look at the 16ft.(200 lb.) Sea Spray . The fleet in California alone has passed 40 boats ! This year on May 7-9th. the Sea Spray North Americans is planned for Black Butte Lake just out side of Orland, Ca.

in your first pic..thats Dave Hagen from Chico, Ca. and the 2nd. was taken at the 2002 North Americans at Egale Lake. Both a great shots of these wonderful little cats in action.
