I often sail those, and have to say my top speed never went above 18kts - usually cruising at 15-16kts. Awesome job here Joe!

Thanks! I'd have to say that Vassiliki bay is a particularly easy place to sail fast!

Yes! This was a lot of fun - even the 15 delivers with the right wind

I didn't think the hobie 15 could reach those speeds, well done. Can't wait to see you pushing the hobie 16 in this dream bay this year again !

You and me both! There's been a bit of a wind drought recently - just waiting for the return!!

Cool video thanks, I chose my 15 because of the hull runners, so I can pull her out of the water almost anywhere without worrying about damage, and also because I'll be solo sailing often and I think she's a little more manageable than a 16, when you factor in launching etc. I'm still learning but I did manage my first completely solo launch/sail/recover recently, thanks to your videos!

Nice! I'm very glad that the videos have been helping. The 15 is such a great choice for exactly the reasons that you said.

I am loving all of your videos and would love to see you do a comparison between the Hobie 16 and the Minicat 420 👍
@JoyriderTV3 ай бұрын
It will be quite a comparison - not so much in common

@@JoyriderTV thank you for the consideration, keep up the great work. I am learning so much and thoroughly enjoy your presentations

I had a Sunfish sailboat growing up and in a good wind then daggerboard would start to sing 👍

Hi Jo, I rag one of these around Rhosneigr in the summer and that is the sound of fun!!

Yes, it's certainly a good feature having the audible speedo.

Hi Joe, would you consider the 15 to be the replacement for the 14? 14s in good shape in the US are rare as hens teeth.

Designed for a different purpose - but for what you're doing - it would be ideal.
