What about the Infusion?


After almost one year of becoming F18 “world champ”, a title that eluded Nacra for years in the class, Hobie has reacted quickly enough to put an end on a possible Infusion consecutive titles to match the Tiger´s run years ago.

But don´t count off your Infusion yet, a strong european team that was assembled to obtain the title in Nigran is still there, I don´t have info yet if Franck Cammas is going to participate this time, at least nothing in his calendar event for 2009 for the F18, he was 2nd on a Nacra and really close to take line honours.

This cat still has many lives, the Pete Melvin design has lots of competitive years left, remember it was Hobie that had to build a new boat due to Infusion sales and success, as Nacra has done with the Infusion itself to stop Hobie´s World Championships and match Capricorn´s performance.

This big league fight is the core engine of the F18 evolution, (although innovation always comes from custom builders like AHPC, Swell or Boulogne first, they have more margin to experiment) Now that Nacra and Hobie had played their cards, they are gonna stick with them for some years to come… until a new custom innovation from the sidelines emerges…

Crews always define who´s best, but this year the F1(8) “constructors championship” will be really interesting with this 4 main players:
– AHPC Capricorn
– Nacra Infusion
– Loday-White ShockWave
– Hobie Wildcat

Don´t miss the 2009 F18 Worlds at Belgium, we are going to see the most competitive F18 Worlds ever held.
