About the HOLDER 14 MKII
Similar to HOBIE ONE-14. The HOLDER 14 MKII has a taller rig than the std. HOLDER 14.
The Holder 14 MkII is a lightweight, high-performance catamaran designed by Ron Holder and built by Hobie Cat (USA) between 1984 and 1990. With a displacement of 265.0 lb and a LOA of 13.67 ft, this model represents a specific era of Hobie's production, though the exact number of hulls built is not specified in the available data.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal day-sailing, racing, and trailerable cruising due to its light displacement and fractional sloop rig. It appeals to single-handers or couples seeking a responsive, easy-to-handle package for protected waters.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 265.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 3.84, this boat is not designed for offshore bluewater cruising and is strictly limited to coastal and protected water use.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other Hobie Cat models from the same era, such as the Hobie 16 and Hobie 18, which share similar trailerable dimensions and performance-oriented designs. It also compares to other 13-14 ft catamarans like the Nacra 14, though the Holder 14 MkII is distinct in its fractional rig configuration.
