WindRiders, Windgliders, Wingsailers… Oh my.
Add my other trimarans, catamarans, monohulls, kayaks and windsurfers -
and I needed a central location to dock the links to my virtual flotilla.

Most of my webpages were created for out-of-production watercraft I sail. They were created to encourage an 'information exchange' among fellow owners. In addition to my 'orphaned' boats, I own Hobies (three H-14s, Wave and FloatCat), AquaCat, Laser, Sea Skimmer Snark, Bay Runner, CraigCat, three sit-on-top kayaks and some windsurfers (Windgliders, an XS Speed, and an original Windsurfer®).
And I've just started getting into R/C sailing! ...Please, somebody stop me!

Trac Catamarans - www.traccat.com
Brought from Australia, AMF licensed these catamarans for production in this country
from '79 thru '86. Their unique feature of semi-folding hulls made the 14' model
popular for van-top hauling. AMF dropped their boat division, but the Trac-14
is still manufactured in Australia under the Windrush name.

The XS Speed - A catamaran-style windsurfer
Being a fan of multi-hulls, I was drawn to the catamaran-styling of this sailboard. The company is out of business, and the XS Speed is no longer in production, but that didn't stop me from bringing one home. My website hopes to attract other owners for an ex-change of tips, parts, and information. Basic descriptions and specifications are listed.

The Rocky Gap Hobie Fleet
Our "fleet" is comprised of only seven Hobies - But since our home port is a small lake, the size is just right. The fleet's objective is to encourage camaraderie between multi-hull owners in the area, but all sailboats are welcome. The Rocky Gap Hobie Fleet is located on Lake Habeeb, within Maryland's Rocky Gap State Park.
