I talked to the guy. It came from Europe. One hull needs work.

Cool boat. Might be Hobie Europe's precursor to the Dragoon, a way cool little boat.

The H13 is also mentioned in this thread.
http://www.thebeachcats.c…ms/viewtopic/topic/16323

Build at the Hobie Europe facility in Toulon, Cedex, France.
Like mentioned in the thread, we have 2 of them at our cat-club.
The H13 in the ad has no jib, the ones at the club do have jibs.
They don't like weight, maybe because they are scaled down H16 ?
Or,maybe its me being a big guy icon_lol icon_lol icon_lol
But they are great boats for kids!
