True that, I once bought a VHS copy of a terrible Sissy Spacek chick flic named "Violets Are Blue" because it was supposed to have Hobie sailing in it.

The perfect storm was OK. Actually no it wasn't, trite story line and fake looking CGI. Besides, no sails.
Summer rental was a good sailing movie! :) I always wanted to see someone win a race by 'flying thier pants'. Besides John Candy was in it.

In the Thomas Crowne Affair if you listen the director commentary on the DVD they discuss the boats, during the boating scene in the movie. I think it is there that they mention they were built in the 80's by aeronautical engineers or something like that. Been a few years since I watched the DVD, and few more then that since I watched it with the directory commentary on..... But that might be where the D class cat info came from.

On the other hand, whoever wrote the text on the ProSail website certainly thought both boats were Prosail 40's.
http://prosail.com/about.html
On the other hand that site doesn't have much info and hasn't been updated for over 10 years.
What I've been looking for is an actual list of the boats entered in the Prosail 40 series, which only lasted a couple of seasons during 1989-90. I'm thinking that not all the boats were purpose built for the series and maybe existing D-Class boats (like the yellow boat) fit their rule close enough to race. And probably all the Prosail 40's met the definition of D-Class.

Just watced "I am Number 4" (now in stores) and they have a cat (I think Hobie) in the opening scene... Sort of a blooper actually....the background changes too quickly from 'boat sailing' to 'boat beached and nobody on it....ha...don't try to slip that by a cat lover.

Bruce Brown's "The Endless Summer" (1966) featured Pacific Cats being sailed in Hawaii during a 3-4 minute beach cat segment. Excellent footage that included a guy "trapezing" by hand (I guess they didn't use harnesses back then).

Hey Bri, i caught a clip of that on fuel TV last night too! all i saw was what looked like a 22 footer big wooden cat cruising. very cool. and sometime well screw around on the traps with our hands when we dont bring the harnesses out on calm days. or winds just pick up

There is also a hobie cat in Caddyshack. It's only in a shot for a second when everyone is trying to get out of the way of Rodney Dangerfield's yacht.
The best sailing movie IMO is Captain Ron. How can you argue with logic like "If anything's gonna happen, it's gonna happen out there".
