What became known as the Hobie (originally, Vagabond; currently, Hobie One) line of mononulls soon was being produced at the Hobie Cat production facilities in San Juan Capistrano and Oceanside (later wholly in Oceanside when the San Juan Capistrano mould facility closed in 1987 and joined the rest of the family down the coast)." From talking to dealers, the last production year was 1995 which coincided with Hobie Cat's introduction of The Wave catamaran. Open,

of sail. Originally, it was known as the Vagabond 14. In 1984 Hobie
started production of the Holder 14 and in 1986 it then became known
as the Hobie One-14. With hull weight - sail area ratio in combination
with a pretty well-defined chine aft make the Hobie Holder 14 a very
stable and dry mono hull boat. "Deciphering
