Hobie Hotline, 1971 to 2013

160 issues. Hotline started in February 1971 as a mimeographed newsletter and grew into a bimonthly magazine: launch coverage for every new model, regatta reports, "This Old Hobie" repair columns, and decades of ads. If you want to know what a boat was like when it was new, it is in here.

Where the files live. Issues from 1971 to 1995 are scans hosted by Hobie Cat Company and open directly from their server; they run 5 to 60 MB each. The six later issues come from the Internet Archive and are served from this site. A searchable, model-by-model index of articles is the next project; contributions welcome.
