The Hobie Wave is an American catamaran that was designed by Morrelli & Melvin and first built in 1994.[1] [2] [3] [4]
The design has been built by Hobie Cat in the United States since 1994 and is still in production as of 2024.[1] [5]
The Hobie Wave is a recreational sailboat, with its hulls made from rotomolded polyethylene and an aluminum mast. It has a catboat single sail rig, or, optionally a fractional sloop rig. The mainsail is fully battened and does not employ a boom. It has plumb stems, reverse transoms, transom-hung rudders controlled by a tiller and no keel. It displaces 2450NaN0 and has a draft of 1.74feet with the rudders down and 0.92feet with the rudders up.[1] [3] [4] [5]
The boat has a capacity of four people.[5]
A mast-top float to prevent the boat turning turtle is included as optional equipment.[1]
The Wave has a D-PN of 92.1.[6]
The design has proven popular at resorts, due to its rugged construction.[1]
