The “Hotline” magazine, first published by Hobie, then the Class Association, contained a wealth of knowledge, news, and event reports. The “This Old Hobie” segments were extremely helpful in documenting common maintenance and upgrades across all the classes of Hobie Catamarans. There are countless instances when a new or seasoned sailor needs to refer to the helpful instructions documented in the various issues over the years. This page offers a simple, web searchable format to archive this information.
