[quote=MN3][quote]There is a reason more Hobie 16s have been made than all other manufacturers combined. Maybe even twice as many.

Many reasons - first or early to market (excluding those Polynesians 3000 years ago), ideal (small) boat for off shore / pacific sailing, simple design, fleet racing, hobie Inc. methods, cheap (back in the day), lack of other options
I owned 2 hobies (16 and 18) - they were good boats but i would go for the nacra 500 hands down over a new hobie anything - ymmv<!-- editby --><em>Edited by MN3 on Apr 21, 2021 - 05:18 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
