my dads buying a boat for in the sea, should he get a dart 18 or a hobie 16, i hear that the dart is better but not sure.

Love this video too! (Watched windsurfing a few mins ago.) Really enjoyed it. Also learned on a Hobie 16 at Andros. Way cool. We used to fly a hull, trapped out, right onto the beach at the Beach House, just to be cocky. Is it still there? Loved full moon sailing, and just going down to the beach to sleep on the trampoline at night, with bug repellant on of course! Thanks for some sweet nostalgia. STILL miss Andros and AUTEC!

@dekzan If you can windsurf you will find cat sailing very easy. The original hobie 14 is really too small for adults, even for one person. The hobie 16 or 17 are both great for single handling, even in fast winds.

@newnetnerd Ive never been able to get anyone to take photos of my H16 while sailing, much less video. Nobody wants to sit of the end of the pier, or in another boat with a camera, they want to be on the hobie.

Makes me want to get up to the lake and sail my hobie, but I ll wait til my shoulder heals. Great video, good to see someone enjoying a hobie just as they were designed to be :)

The windrifter again. I was wondering where was this video shot? What part of the world? I live on a lake in north Idaho, ( lake Coeur d' Alene) We don't get the steady winds that you would find on a coastal location. I can't hardly wait for Spring when the snow and ice melts so I can fly a hull. Take Care and happy sailing to you.

This is from Andros Island, The Bahamas. I've been here 5 years now... and can you guess? I LOVE it! (ha)
Make sure to upload some videos of your sailing. Cheers!

I really enjoyed your video. I just bought an older H16 and was wondering how hard is it to fly a hull, ( single handed)? You make it look easy but, I amagine that it takes a pretty steady wind without too much wind shifts. I have sailed a lot on mono hulls but, not much on cats. My cat has a single trap but, it looks like that is not always necesary if the wind is not too strong. About how much wind speed in (knots) is required to adequately fly a hull with one person on board , 200 lbs.

It was pretty light wind that day. I weigh about 200 lbs too. The Hobie is great for light wind days. However, if it gets above 15 knots, I just go windsurfing.
Cheers!

Hi, I have mastered winsurfing very much. Can you give me a couple of advices for steppin up to sailing? I am attracted to catamarans, but will be doing by myself. Today i first saw the Hb Bravo. Can I start right on with the Hb 14 or 16?

@dekzan You can start on Hobie 16. It's easy!
