Same goes for Vectorworks Marin Inc. Catsailor Mag even did a full article on the boat. Thats without considering all the hype in the F16 forum.

I am already talking with Rick about running an ad. I am sure maybe only a couple of folks here know what I do.

Its just the right thing to do.

Paul,

This Carnac, may not have as many 18HT as usual. We have an important Class regatta in Switzerland the same week-end, in Thunersee. We have also a week prior this week-end a 18HT Promotional movie that will be shooted in Thunersee...

I'll keep you informed as soon as I have more news.

Jack,

You was right concerning the way Bimare shows the protos... I now better understand the entire purpose of the previous Topic on Bimare F18.

Jr

How many European F18 boats do you see in the USA?
Many?

Jr

The last time I checked, Hobie Tigers were made in France, and there are quite a few of those in th US.
Unless Europe has disowned France, and if you have disowned them, we understand and will support that notion!

Ok. You are right, Tigers are made in France but is Hobie-Cat a French company?

You are a little playing with words, this is fine.

Part of that, can any one let me know own many type of Cat Manufacturer do you have in the USA and who are they?

This is just curiosity.
Regards,

Hobie Cat Europe is a French company - completely separate ownership from Hobie Cat USA.

Hobie Cat Europe builds Hobie Tigers
Hobie Cat USA does not.

Builders in the US? hmmm...a few off the top of my head:

Vectorworks Marine
Performance Catmarans
Hobie Cat

While not the most popular brands there is also:
Isotopes
Windriders cats and tri's now back in business
Aquarius Supercats

And Shark catamarans.

....and don't forget the G-Cat, also being manufactured by Vectorworks.

Thanks.

I knew only 3 of them.
