1. Find your Rig Dimensions

2. Scroll down to Cruising Sailboat or Club Racers

3. Select Mainsail halyard using "P"; Genoa halyard using "I" and Spinnaker halyards using "ISP" dimensions. You will then be able to view and purchase the recommended halyard, which includes shackles and splicing.

Hobie 33 Enjoys Successful Class Revival

Even though the Hobie 33 class is working its way back to its original grandeur. In the past 3 years the class has been experiencing a rebirth and continues looking toward the future. The 2006 Hobie 33 Mid-Winter and North American Championship Regattas have been set and several owners from around the country are committing more time and effort to support a complete class revival.

Sailors will enjoy racing in the 3rd Annual Mid-Winter Regatta on February 23-24, 2006 at St. Petersburg, Florida and the 2006 North American Championship will be held on July 1-2 at the North Cape Yacht Club in Lasalle, Michigan. We know this might not sound like much, but for 30-35 foot keelboats, there aren’t many one-design regattas these days—unless you are on a $100-150,000 or more budget. Undoubtedly, as the class continues to grow, more races will be added to the schedule.

Mauri Pro Sailing’s relationship with the Hobie 33 class goes back to 2000, when our sailing team developed a Hobie 33 - Tuning Guide for the class. With this tool, Hobie 33 owners have been able to improve their performance at local events (not to mention the recent unparalleled success of the boat in offshore regattas). We later developed the Hobie 33 - Deck Hardware specifications. More Hobie 33s are winning more races than we have seen in some time.

In 2005, Mauri Pro Sailing offered the Hobie 33 North American One Design Class full sponsorship of their events as well as the hosting and maintenance of their web site. The relationship matured, and in Oct the 2005, the Hobie 33 North American Championship Regatta was held at the friendly Cedar Mills Yacht Club on Lake Texoma in Texas.

Note: In 2003 Hobie 33 were sold for an average of $13,000; today boats are sold for $25,000.

Mauri Pro Sailing is committed to supporting the class until December 2007; but we are sure the relationship will go well beyond that . If you would like to get your one design or class supported by our team, please call or email us.
