Clase f-18, todas las embarcaciones





Alado 18
The mother plug of most of the existing boats. Cheap ... but you have to be patient to get one ! Winner of the 1997 Europeans. Improved in 2002.


Bim X4
New wave piercing design from a famous A Class yard.


Capricorn
From Australian High Performance Catamarans : no more canted boards !

Cirrus 18
Ultimate design and technology. Produced by the Boulogne brothers. Got Silver at the 2000, 2001 and 2002 Worlds ... and Gold in 2003 at Koksijde !


Dart Hawk
The F18 from the Dart Company. Really able to fly. Designed by Yves Loday, and born in the Reg White Yard in 1994. Regularly improved since. Suffers from British Pound currency ...

Diam 18
Huge volume. Fast and easy. has been successfully sailed by both UK and French Class Association Chairmen for many years. Improved in 2002 and 2004. Won't you become a President ?


Flyer :
The
wave piercing design from Germany


Hunter 18
A design from Mischa Heemskerk (Hawk and Tiger sailor, current member of the Dutch Tornado team) produced in small numbers. Good speed potential. Check affordability.


Mattia Sport
Continuously improved design issued from the Italian yard near Como, following and improving the Mattia Raid, one of the first ever Formula 18 cat, the Mattia Flash and the Mattia Fortissimo. For sure a perfect choice !


MV Challenge
This boat, designed by the famous F18 designer Jacques Valer, is reserved to the MV Challenge project, open to 18 - 25 years old youngsters.


Nacra Inter 18
Rather extreme design from Morelli & Melvin. Winner of the 1998 Europeans. Very popular in Northern Europe and USA.


Nacra Inter 2
New design from Alain Comyn. Awarded "Boat of the Year 2001" in the USA. Used by Darren Bundock and Gerhard Van Geest for wave jumping. Got Bronze at 2002 Worlds in Travemuende.


Nacra Infusion
The new wave piercing design from Nacra


Phenix
one other Jacques Valer design, built by KL Navistrat.


Taipan 18
The new F18 from Australia. Surprised all the European sailors (but not any Aussies...) when entering the top ten in the first race at the 2001 Worlds held in Parkstone UK.


Tiger
The F18 from Hobie, issued from the Alado design. The power of a big company, and the support of the International Hobie Class Association. Three times in a row (2000, 2001, 2002) World Champion with Mitch Booth and Herbert Dercksen, 2004 winner with Darren Bundock and Glenn Ashby.


Twister
One other design from Jacques Valer. For sure as fast as the Tiger ... or even faster ? Who knows ...
