Does anyone have a copy of the Life Magazine article that featured the famous picture of a Hobie 14 launching off a wave?

No, but I can show you one that will make you wish you were on it. Check out the attachment. Sorry about not having that 14 pic.

No...Sorry Ed, I DO NOT have any rights to that pic. Just always thought I'd like to be on it.

It has been around for quite a while.

Thanks Hobie Alter. He has given me lots of pleasure sailing these things since 1973, and that was after I first saw the logo on my brand new grey and green 10-4 board in Hawaii. Now, for some other cats that have sustained flights, see http://www.fastsail.com/catcobbler (I hope its fixed!)
