I live on a remote part of the pacific coast of mexico, where 80% of the time I will be sailing in 8-14 knts of sea breeze. I want to introduce and teach “sailing” to some of the local kids, it will be like something from Mars to them.
A well built boat which a 210 lb person can single hand in the lighte/moderate conditions, but will be powered up right when we are 2 crew @ 350lb in 17-20knts.
I know the Hobbie 18 is a real tough boat, but I’m looking for better performance.
I was considering one of the 18’ class boats, nacra, tiger, capricorn ???
Which is built stronger and better ?
