About the HOLDER HAWK
Also called HOLDER 9.
The Holder Hawk is a 9.0 ft catamaran designed by Ron Holder and built by Hobie Cat, with production records indicating a start year of 1984. As a lightweight vessel with a displacement of 75.0 lb, it represents the early generation of recreational catamarans.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for casual day sailing and coastal recreation rather than serious cruising, given its minimal displacement and small footprint.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 75.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 3.72, the Holder Hawk is not designed for offshore bluewater passage making.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include other early 1980s Hobie Cat models and similarly sized unstayed catamarans, which share the same emphasis on ease of handling and beaching.
