Saw a fella over on the ebay wanted 15 bucks for a Hobie catalog. It does make excellent reading. A good refrence for parts and such, Get'em at the dealers or as a pdf at Hobbie website.
Question...
How much does my "vintage" 2010 catalog go for?

I received my copy of Catamaran Racing for the 90's yesterday. Looks like a great book - this should make a great reference and answer questions. Thanks for the recommendations.

Hmm find a cheap one, cut the binding off and run it through a scanner. But don't tell Rick, he would absolutely shit.

I re-read the appendices of 'cat racing for the 90s' every couple months and still find something interesting every time through.

Buy the "Catamaran Sailing DVD" by Mobilis Productions, www.mobilisproductions.com. Expensive but very helpful.
