Reply to: Looking for advice: is the Hobie Getaway that slow for a rookie sailor?

[quote=Edchris177][quote]It's "slower" than a Hobie 16 but challenge a 16 sailor to sail with six onboard and you'll win that race for sure. [/quote] Very true. That line brings back a memory from early this summer. I was soling the 5.7 & went for a run down to a Provincial Park 8 miles down the lake. Spotted a bright sail & went to see if there was another Cat. I easily caught & passed what turned out to be a Hobie Wave, sailed by a young kid of about 14. As I went by he yelled, "hey mister, how do you get your boat to go so fast?" I headed up & let him catch me. His biggest problem? There were 8, yes, I counted them, 8 kids on that boat. The hulls were only a few inches above the water.[/quote]
