I have one in my garage. I have sailed it twice. It honestly scares the **** out of me. I rode Yamaha superbikes, on and off the track in the early 2000's. This is nothing like that...This boat is no joke. Anyone else out there ever been in one? They are amazing. I think there is less than 700 still creeping out there in the world.
Very interesting vessel. Odd that I've never heard of it seeing as how I drive by the factory twice a day...
I just checked out youtube - looks like a total rush. I used to sail Hobie 16's back in the day - on a windy day, it get's a little exciting !!!!!!!! MDS
I've never heard of these. They look pretty fun in the videos on Youtube. I used to sail Hobie 16's and I also solo-sailed often in my Sol Cat 18. That thing was pretty fast.
Drove one at a hobie event when first introduced (we used to race an 18). Got some GoPro vids of sailing?
I still sail a 16 off the beach through surf. When the wind starts getting above 20 knots its really exciting, and if you are not on your game a good way to get hurt.
