Forward Sailing partner of the Hobie 16 International Championship 2026

Forward Sailing is a partner of the Hobie 16 International Championship 2026.

From September 12 to 25, the international Hobie 16 community is gathering in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, for several days of sailing and competition on the Mississippi Sound.

This partnership is particularly meaningful for Forward Sailing, whose history and product range are closely connected to sport catamarans and the Hobie Cat 16.

The Hobie 16 on the international stage

The Hobie Cat 16 remains one of the most recognisable and widely sailed sport catamarans in the world.

The 2026 Hobie 16 International Championship brings crews from different countries together in Ocean Springs for several racing series.

Masters, Grand Masters, Great Grand Masters, Women and Youth opened the programme before the Open Championship, held from September 20 to 25.

A partnership that makes sense for Forward Sailing

Forward Sailing develops sails, covers and accessories for catamarans and dinghies, with particular attention to iconic boats that continue sailing year after year.

The Hobie Cat 16 naturally holds an important place in this approach.

Being a partner of this international event allows Forward Sailing to be directly present alongside the Hobie 16 community and the sailors who keep the class active around the world.

Two Forward Sailing products present on site

Two Forward Sailing protection products for the Hobie Cat 16 are also present at the championship.

They address two simple needs: protecting the trampoline when the boat remains rigged and protecting the hulls during storage or transport.

A class that continues to bring sailors together

Several decades after its introduction, the Hobie 16 continues to bring together sailors from different generations and countries.

That is also part of the strength of the class: an instantly recognisable boat, an active community and a strong presence in clubs and international regattas.

For Forward Sailing, supporting this event is a practical way to contribute to this dynamic and stay close to the sailors.
