The Hobie Wildcat is a Formula 18 developed by Hobie Cat Europe as a one-design within the Formula 18 rules. The class was recognised by the International Sailing Federation in November 2010. It is designed to replace the Hobie Tiger as a more up to date and competitive design within the Formula 18 fleet.{{cite web |url=http://hobieclass.com/hobie-wild-cat/|title=hobieclass.com: Hobie Wild Cat|date=19 June 2015 }}{{cite web|url=https://www.hobie.com/xe/en/sail/wild-cat/|title=hobie.com: Wild Cat|access-date=30 November 2017|archive-date=1 December 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171201041504/https://www.hobie.com/xe/en/sail/wild-cat/|url-status=dead}}
