Reply to: HOBIE 17 or SUPERCAT 17

[quote=Dogboy]You can't beat a boat with wings as far as staying drier is concerned. As far as beating a H16, it really all depends on the sailors, the boats are very close in performance. We had a regatta this past weekend where the 18's, 17's, and a lone 16 all started together. The 16 sailor is one of the best in the country and he beat them all (I'm talking straight time, not corrected/handicapped). Regarding the crossbars, it is as much a matter of overloading the boat as it is sailing the boat hard. The 17 was originally designed as a solo boat. When they created the "Sport", they increased the load on the boat (additonal person) without changing the design of the platform. Even if you think the boat has been lightly sailed, I would still check the crossbars. I've owned 2 H17s and gone through several crossbars between the two boats. I would definitely give a close inspection to a 1994 boat. sm[/quote]
