What do you get AFTER a Hobie Wave amd remain singlehand, and do not want a H16, with a LOW price tag?
Hobie 17. Best boat Hobie's ever made. Good ones sell for less than $4K.
Ummm...nah....that boat is happier sitting in irons than any boat I've ever sailed. You should really try an A.
You obivously never sailed a Hobie 14 in any kind of a breeze. It's like mud wrestling with a pig. You both get dirty and the pig has fun.
On the Hobie 17:
We choose to sail Hobie 17s. We choose to sail Hobie 17s in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win.
Famous speech I've heard before.
