The drive typically takes around 17 minutes. We visited because Roger MacGregor has fond memories of a party he sponsored at Crystal Cove in the early 70s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>There was an amazing amount of comaraderie between the companies.&nbsp; Parties, baseball and football leagues, etc.&nbsp; MacGregor and Hobie put on the most memorable beach party of all time.&nbsp; It attracted about 400 people. Whole pigs were cooked in the sand, and massive fights broke out to determine who could get the good food.&nbsp; Booze flowed like rivers, a sound truck fell of a 100 foot cliff, and several good sized boats were sunk in the surf.&nbsp; It was epic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/RogerMacGregor.com\">THE GOLDEN AGE OF SAILBOAT PRODUCTION<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hobiesurfshops.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/india1.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Hobie 14 beach catamaran <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Hobie Alter, the creator of the iconic Hobie Cat beach catamarans, had significant ties to Southern California\u2019s coastal culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list marker:text-textOff list-disc\">\n<li>Alter\u2019s surfboard shop and early operations were based in&nbsp;<strong>Laguna Beach<\/strong>&nbsp;and Dana Point, near Crystal Cove<a class=\"citation ml-xs inline\" href=\"https:\/\/thesailingmuseum.org\/inductee\/alter-hobie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">3<\/a><a class=\" mr-[2px] citation ml-xs inline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/archives\/la-xpm-1988-03-30-fi-260-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">5<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Hobie 14, his first mass-produced catamaran, was designed for beach launches, making nearby coastal areas like Dana Point and San Clemente (adjacent to Crystal Cove) natural testing grounds<a class=\"citation ml-xs inline\" href=\"https:\/\/thesailingmuseum.org\/inductee\/alter-hobie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">3<\/a><a class=\" mr-[2px] citation ml-xs inline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/archives\/la-xpm-1988-03-30-fi-260-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">5<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>In the late 60\u2019s Hobie started messing around in boats. Hobie developed a prototype for a lightweight, fast and easy-to-sail playboat based on the Polynesian twin-hulled catamaran. History soon repeated itself. What Hobie\u2019s foam surfboard did for surfing, the Hobie Cat did for sailing, introducing a whole new way to have fun in the sun and revolutionizing an industry in the process. In the past four decades, more people have taken to the water on a Hobie Cat than almost any other sailboat design. Hobie Cats are still the world\u2019s best selling cats and it\u2019s hard to find a body of water on any continent that doesn\u2019t have an active Hobie racing fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hobiesurfshops.wordpress.com\/2013\/07\/19\/hobie-history-hobie-cat-explains-it-all\/\">Hobie History<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The Venture Catamaran, specifically the&nbsp;<strong>Venture 15<\/strong>, was first produced in&nbsp;<strong>1970<\/strong>&nbsp;by MacGregor Yacht Corporation.
