Discussion of competition level of the Sunfish Class

one problem with these boats, they roll tack like a catamaran.

@anonymoussailing1046 Then you haven't learned to roll tack it.

those who think sunfish are the best have never tried a hobie 16 :P

[zkenzo]

@BnS1374 I have both--there completely different boats, and not comparable. Each has its advantages and disadvantages(speed, size,setup time,cost of maintainance, etc)-hence, their popularity. They are both, great boats.

[goodparker]

optis suck

[jondoethegreat]

somebody give me an honest answer, which is faster, the sunfish or the hobie bravo?

[KSONeill]

@jondoethegreat

Bravo is faster and easier to sail. The Sfish is a good racing boat because it goes slow if you let it heel, the rudder turns into a brake. Good for racing, tells you if someone is a good sailor. Bad for fast sailing.
