[quote=DamonLinkous][quote=tbox]Damon how does every thing factor on the reach or what ever the word is for running perpendicular to the wind? I am not strong on the lingo yet![/quote]
I'm not sure what you are asking? The F18 will be faster on a reach as well, most of them will need to be double trapped in only 10 mph wind speed on a reach.
Tell us about yourself, how much sailing have you done? Do you feel you are sailing the stock Hobie 18 on the edge as fast as it can get and crave move speed? Have you topped 18 mph on your Hobie 18? Believe me it's hairy and on the edge when you are pushing 20 mph.
Do you have a nice soft sand beach to launch from? Do you always have good experienced crew? All these things make a difference on whether it would be a good move to go to something like a F18 Infusion, Tiger, or Capricorn.
These high tech boats are great machines but take a lot more care, setup time, and expensive parts than the Hobie 18.[/quote]
