Hobie Cat sailing Paperback – January 1, 1981

I'm happy with my purchase

I had this same book about 25 years ago and got rid of it. I bought it again and I am very happy I did. Sometimes you have to review things and this is great for that.

Have searched for many books on Hobie sailing. Though old, this is by far the best book out there. The best

good read for the sailing fan

Would of given it a 5 star rating had the condition been better. Pretty good shape for 30 year old book. Excellent source of information for the novice thinking about his or her first Hobie. None of the newer books go into as much detail.I would say it saved us a lot of research to get all of the information in this one book.

If your interested into getting into sailing or buying a hobie cat this is a great book. it's depth and straight forward no qestion marks here. It covers evey possible aspect of the sport. Like: its history, what boat to choose, rigging, regetta, racing, from care to repair. the photos are classic, and one of a kind. this book is about 30years old, but nothing on the cats have really changed. Best of all, you can pick up a copy for next to nothing. I found mine for $5 on ebay with shipping included. just keep you eyes peeled.

I've had this book for a few years now and haven't been able to find any book. That provides as much insight on the history, explanation and a how to guide for sailing Hobie cat's. I'd highly recommend buying this book if you are new to Hobie's or are just interested in learning more about them. I frequently use this book as a reference.
