Some of this information is also found at the Hobie Fleet 214 site.

Hobie Fleet 214 was formed in 1974 by a group of diehard Hobie Cat sailors in Vancouver, B.C., Canada. The Fleet is a member of the North American Hobie Class Association (NAHCA). Kim Miller and Steven Jung wrote some of these articles.

At this weekend's Jericho Classic Hobie Regatta June 20 -21, the latest generation Hobie Tigers will join the splashing, lashing, frenzied fray in a 3 ring circus of talented cat sailing skill. These egg shell fragile, super light highly tuned, high performance, cat gut wind and wave instruments in the weathered hands of a Maestro Skipper and crew, will burn around the sail race course like a steroid juiced kitten after a bouncing wet ball of yarn.

Hobie Fleet #214 and the Jericho Sailing Centre Association's regatta management team are prepared to face the ferocious feline competition this weekend with fearless confidence and courage because they know that, unlike most others, with a few well placed race marks and precisely measured sound signals, these cats are relatively easy to herd.
