Thats no Dart Hawk though, its a Nacra Inter 20.
The picture is from either the Worrell 1000 or Tybee 500.

not really jumping, but being toss up by the surf while trying to leave the beach. The Dart picture looks more like a full on launch of a swell top at top speed.

The picture I'm seeing is team Fully Involved in the infamous Worrell 1000 Jensen Beach stop. I think it was 2002?

A better photo (same year) can be found on team Castrol's site...

and look at the one in the center. It always cracks me up... Remember boys and girls... That boat is 20 feet long.

I'm sure this looks familiar. For some reason i think that might hurt a bit being out on the wire like that.

This is a very old picture. It has been around for years.

Is the TheMightyHobie18 picture taken from that video ?

This just goes to prove what an old f--t I am:

The photo of the 18M going through the surf was taken at the 1993 Hobie "Multi-Nationals" in Jacksonville. The crew is Gigi Moore. I don't remember who she was sailing with, but I'll bet it's somewhere in a box in my basement.

I believe that the TheMightyHobie18 picture was taken when Hobie was doing the video in Hawaii featuring the TheMightyHobie18 sailing in big waves (also included a segment of sailing right up on the beach and into a tidal pool; wouldn't want to try that with a modern, light weight hull). I think Dean Froome was driving the boat. I noticed recently that he participated in one leg of an around Oahu race on a Hobie 20 Miracle. Since that video was done 30 years ago, he's got to be getting up there in years. I'm not sure I would take a beach cat out into the ocean to sail around the island of Oahu...pretty bold.

Those are SX wings on that 18. They weren't introduced until 1989.

They didn't have those back when they did the "Sharing the Wind" video with Dean Froome.

Besides, Gigi was NAHCA Chair back then. I was secretary/treasurer and newsletter editor. We used the photo in the NAHCA News.

I think that David was talking about the other picture, the 18 with sail number 1912
There is a photo of the same cat jumping waves in the 1979 book Hobie Cat sailing. It is an almost identical picture although the cat is facing the other way.

Sharing the Wind.

This is Dean Froome and JD Driscole off of Oahu. The movie was of the Hobie 18, 1978?. I went to the opening night in Newport (I think) California . Our fleet (Hobie fleet 4) rented a bus and went up. It was at a full size movie theater. A packed house of Hobie sailors. What a blast!

Remember "with a little help from Chili Dog"? Tripple Trapezeing? Dagger Board surfing? The crowd went nuts!

Dean works for Windward boats in Kailua, Ohau. Still selling Hobie Cats.

To J. Hoying-- That great Hobie 18 Magnum pic crashing out thru the surf at Daytona Beach is of my buddies Kim Coffee and crew Gigi Moore (ex-Commodore of Division 8). They got out ok and raced, and didn't even turn over! Its a commercial photo about 1990.

Sorry - I didn't see the "attachment" photo that was definitely from 'Sharing the Wind.' The 18SX going vertical was what I was referring to.

They showed that film in a classroom when I was in the Naval Architecture program at UofM - 1982'ish. The summer it came out I was working at the Hobie dealer in Richmond, VA - Trail 'n Sail. We sold a bunch of 18's from that video.

Cats can jump..So that's why they call 'em Wings! [Re: jmhoying] #38251
