Wing foil to Hawaii!?!?

That'll get the heart pumping!

Today we learn from the one and only, "the legend" Harry Andrews how to do the duck jibe. One day we showed up at the beach and Harry was spinning his wing like... a mad man. We realized he was showing off this new fun trick, the duck jibe. Harry breaks it down so that the rest of us can join in on the fun. Watch the full video: See more

For wings 6m and up!

Another anatomy of an H16 lesson Soft decks, sides etc Note the super small contact patches for the pylon!

The dawn of a new era: The Swedish startup Candela Speed Boat has developed the world’s first electric hydrofoil boat, using motor and batteries from Torqeedo. ...Foiling reduces water resistance, significantly extending range and enhancing efficiency for electric mobility on the water.

The Worrell is coming...

Closest thing to the classic Murrays Race harness! Light and small, with support in the right places.

Thanks to Pierpont Yacht Club for hosting an awesome distance race! Team Murrays had a rough leg out to the island, but cleaned up on the rounding and the screaming ride home.

You may have wondered how I do so well in regattas. The trick is to have a plan.

Inflatable paddleboards have come a long way! The newer boards from Bic Sport and Oxbow are fantastic! Check em out on our website. They fit well in the side of the car or on the catamaran trailer.

It is with great sadness that we announce the postponement of the Hobie 16 / Hobie 20 North American Championships to September of 2021. The class and the organ...izers agree that we could not put on our signature event with minimal social events. Much of Michigan City remains closed. So much uncertainty surrounds the conduct of the event that we feel it's better to wait until next year. A revised NOR will be issued shortly. For those that have registered, full refunds will be made. In the meantime, the Ocean Springs YC Mini-Mega (Hobie Wave / 14 / 17 / 18 / H-16 Women / H-16 Youth North Americans), scheduled for October 19-25 is still ON! An NOR will be forthcoming in the next week or so.

Another Hobie Legend lost, RIP Wayne Schafer.

Hobie 20 racing? Murrays.com sticker? Ridiculous way to cross the finish line? We love it!

David, a french sailmaker, came this winter to do repairs on Mathildes sails. Boat builder Kasper turns a fid that fits perfectly for the job. / Me har hatt bes...øk av den franske seglmakaren David - han har gjort reparasjonar på segla til Mathilde, slik at dei kan halde ein sesong eller to meir. For dei store kringlene måtte den store klubba fram - då han trengte ein ters i rett dimensjon, fekk han ein laga til av båtbyggjar Kasper. Video: Silje Ensby

Fun times on the water!

We had a blast with the international collection of racers, event staff and spectators. Conditions were fantastic for Hobie Racing, and the organizers kept everyone moving!

Murrays now welcomes Rooster to our comprehensive line of sailing gear. Available online or by phone!

Another fantastic Dinsmoor Regatta at Lahaina YC. O'pen Skiffs are the largest One Design Class in the State of Hawaii. Thanks to Sigal for the pics. The O'pen Skiff Class embodies the spirit of Aloha.

Boaters can be very creative people.

New F18 is coming soon! Nobody can't compete with NACRA in terms of pushing innovation in catamaran sailing for so many decades.

Today we remember Olaf Harken. Olaf passed away peacefully in his sleep this morning with loved ones nearby. This morning in Pewaukee, Peter Harken told an asse...mbly of Harken members: My brother did all the hard work so I could have all the fun. During the days when the company was just getting going, Olaf was in charge of the money. He kept us in business. If I had been in charge of that we would have been in big trouble. His legacy is in this culture. So, let’s just keep doing what we do. Just keep getting better. You are a great family. Thanks a lot. He’ll be watching you, so no sloughing off! The brothers took a lot of chances over the years and their employees are still encouraged to do the same. When Olaf Harken was inducted into the National Sailing Hall of Fame in 2014 along with Peter, he explained the brothers’ business philosophy: When trying new stuff our rule is to ask, 'if it all goes bad, can we survive?' Then we go to the bar and forget what we just said and do it anyway! The Harken story has been full of twists, turns, successes, and reinventions, but through it all, the goal of challenging the status quo and commitment to being at the front remains. We encourage you to share your memories of Olaf with us. Feel free to leave a comment here or send us a message.

That looks like a fun ride!

Coming up fast! We'll be there!

What's old is new again! I guess Hobie came out with one of these back in the day to deal with airline travel. There was an example down at the 50th.

We're not gonna make Arrowhead, but will be at Harrison and Pinata, and signed up! How many times have you looked at pre-reg and thought, "look at all those boats, I have to make that one!"
