Hobie Tiger Solo techniques, multicam with commentary tutorial

With the F18 class already huge in Europe, it wasn’t until 2001when the first Tiger landed in the US. The Tiger was then selected for the 2002 US Multihull Championship (Alter Cup) in Syracuse, NY. After the Alter Cup event, the boats were eventually sold, seeding the northeast area and effectively kicking off the Tiger class in North America. Originally designated as a one design class by the ISAF and the Hobie Class Association it soon became apparent and too difficult to control the many changes of the evolving F18 class. F18’s conform to a box rule and are not a true one design class…allowing for design changes and innovations while maintaining strict control over materials and dimensions. The Tiger continued to be upgraded and win major events. Then in 2004 the Capricorn F18 was introduced…a game changer on which all current F18 designs are based. Although no longer in production at this time the Tiger is still very popular globally (approximately 2700 manufactured) and is up for consideration as the multihull for the 2016 Olympics along with the Hobie 16. Tigers continue to be raced competitively to this day at HCANA and North American F18 events with its most recent win at the 2010 Canadian F18 National Championship.
