2025 saw our largest membership numbers in the recent past (over 600 members) and 52 great events all over North America. There were many special events that made it an exciting year. On behalf of the Hobie Class Association of North America, thank you for being part of the journey. Without your continued support, this organization, and the benefits it provides would cease to exist. Thank you for your dedication, passion, and commitment to the Hobie sailing community.
