hobie 14 catamaran

The Hobie 14

This was the first sports catamaran that was ever invented! Created in 1968, the Hobie 14 is unique and universal. It was a real revolution in water sports and continues to make the adrenaline run!

The Hobie 14 is known for its forward mast and very bent banana shaped hull. The forward mast and odd shaped hulls make the boat quite sensitive to weight placement fore and aft. If the helm sits too far forward, he or she can cause the leeward bow to dig in, resulting in a pitchpole. Hobie 14s are great for younger sailors who want a solo multihull that can be held down without much weight. Used boats can be found quite cheaply.

The Hobie 14 is an outstanding platform for an experienced Hobie sailor wishing to both single-hand and be able to right the boat by one’s self when the inevitable flying hull goes over too far.

Do-It-Yourself: Adding Wings to the Hobie 14 Catamaran

Added by damonAdmin on Mar 05, 2004 - 04:31 PM

I put this little beastie together when my first Hobie 17 tore itself apart . After 12 years sailing Hobie 17 catamarans and being quite partial to the comfort and mechanical advantage of trapezing from a wing, returning to a Hobie 14 while my 17 insurers decided what to do with me (and I had sailed Hobie 14's from 1972 to 1987) was going to be quite a letdown .

Not so, as this is only recreational sailing (there isn't any 14 competition in Western Australia any more), I could put wings on a Hobie 14 catamaran and go like a striped ape! That is indeed how she performed, with a VMG to windward far better than the local Hobie 16 catamarans.

Fifteen years of sitting in a little pool of water water formed by the indent of your bodyweight on a Hobie 14 trampoline just vanished after I had fitted this modification . If the Hobie Cat Company followed this lead , they could " reinvent " the Hobie 14 ( and also the 16 ) . It was just pure satisfaction to me to take on the bigger cats and at the end of the journey be able to say "where'd you guy's get to ?"

Inspect a Hobie 14 ( and for that matter a 16 ) and you will find a part of the cross beams just immediately inboard of the corner castings that can accept a " U " strap from underneath past an open piece of trampoline that can be bolted to the inboard end of a wing frame that will allow it to rotate up and over the center of the trampoline for trailering home . all that is left is to secure the frame downwards once it is folded out in the sailing position . This is achieved by strapping the rising wing beam down to the pylon bolt ( or ring attached to ) with some light lanyard . I have a file of working drawings of the whole wing assembly that is available to anyone who wants it . All I ask for this information is to be given written credit on the wing that the idea came from Barry Sanders in Western Australia .

These mods are only a precaution and may not be required unless ( like me ) you wish to extract every ounce of extra performance that the wing can offer . Firstly add a rod " dolphin striker " like is fitted to the 16 ( and indeed the cross beams and corner castings of the 14 are the same as the 16 ) , so a 16 " dolphin striker " will fit if the appropriate holes are drilled in the corner casting flanges . secondly I fabricated and fitted a spreader bar to the bows ( the 17 sport has one as standard for the same reason ) so that more can be extracted from the rig . I added another bar between the chain-plates ( to prevent side-rail compression ) as all long term 14 skippers ( including me ) have experienced side-rail failure . This also allowed me to mount a jib block track so I can widen the jib slot when reaching .

I've had so much response to the wing on my " very quick Hobie 14 " that I decided to publish the plans . I'm quite happy for people to build one offs from these plans and ask only that written credit for the innovation be prominently attached to each wing stating that the design came from Barry Sanders in Pinjarra , Western Australia . Please read the descriptions found with the photos on the previous page , especially the modifications to strengthen the boat.

Anybody who attaches such apparatus to a catamaran of any description does so at their own risk as these boats were never designed to accept the extra loading that the extra leverage will produce .

Learn more about the map styles

Each map type offers different information and each map style is designed for a different purpose. Read about the styles and map projection used in the above map (Satellite Map of Voronezh).

Satellite map

Satellite map shows the Earth's surface as it really looks like. The above map is based on satellite images taken on July 2004. This satellite map of Voronezh is meant for illustration purposes only. For more detailed maps based on newer satellite and aerial images switch to a detailed map view.

Hillshading is used to create a three-dimensional effect that provides a sense of land relief. Shadows drawn on a map simulate the effects of sunlight falling across the surface of the landscape.

Geographic map projection

A map projection is a way how to transform points on a Earth to points on a map. This map of Voronezh uses Plate Carree projection. The Plate Carree projection is a simple cylindrical projection originated in the ancient times. It has straight and equally spaced meridians and parallels that meet at right angles.

All projections from a sphere to a plane are distorted. The drawback of the Plate Carree projection is that it doesn't make an attempt to compensate for these distortions. For the general view of Voronezh, this is not a significant problem. The detailed maps use the Mercator projection which preserves the shape of small areas better.

It's neither this satellite map nor any other of the many millions of maps. The value of a map gallery is not determined by the number of pictures, but by the possibility to see the world from many different perspectives.

We unlock the value hidden in the geographic data. Thanks to automating the complex process of turning data into map graphics, we are able to create maps in higher quality, faster and cheaper than was possible before.

Forever free

We created Maphill to make the web a more beautiful place. Without you having to pay for it. Maphill maps are and will always be available for free.
