[quote=erice]i sail on an odd shaped lake of about 1,200acres, many say that the lake is too small for a hobie 16 but it seems fine enough for my slightly bigger 17 foot nacra 5.2.

cats of this size will easily do 15knots with a good wind and that means crossing your lake in about 2 minutes
i think 0.75ml x 0.5ml works out to about about 0.350 square miles, which is about 200acres if you round off the corners
a 16foot cat in a lake 1/6 the size of ours seems like a recipe for frustration
wave or even 2 bravos seems to make much more sense but if you can find a good hobie 14 cheap it also migth do with the added bonus of training you up well for a hobie16 if you get the urge to start trailering to bigger water <!-- editby --><em>edited by: erice, May 15, 2009 - 12:51 AM</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
