Has anyone seen the Crazy Shirts Spring 2008 Catalog.
http://www2.crazyshirts.com/home.do
It's full of beachcats!! I think they may be Hobie Miracle 20's. I've not seen enough Miracle 20's to be sure. It is still exciting to see Cat's featured in print ad's.

They're not Hobie 20's.

All 20's had black aluminum.

These also have centerboards, not daggerboards. Throw it up on Catsailor and you'll have an ID really quick.

Those girls are standing on the bows while flying a hull like it's not a big deal. I've never seen that stunt before, has anyone else? And if so, where did you find a woman that would have the guts, desire, and coordination to do that? I want one!

Ok. So they aren't Hobie's. Why not?? Isn't Hobie trying to get exposure to their products through others advertising dollars? I'll tell you those photos in Crazy Shirts got my attention. (OK, maybe I was looking at more then just the boat. :wink:

The girl's had something to do with catching my attention.) There are plenty of "summer time" products that would look just as good on a Hobie as they would on the beach, by a pool, etc.

Scans from the Catalog Pages are posted at thebeachcats.com

There is plenty that we do get in magazines...

Look at the latest Men's Journal for example. We continue to get great placements. You just have to get the right magazines. We can't get them all though. Likely these guys own a Prindle 19 or something.

one thing Hobie has going for them is the average joe thinks all catamarans are Hobies!

Look at how this post got started!
