I live in the Netherlands, so the Hobie 13 is probably a Europe-only design. It looks (to me) very much like the original Hobie (thin asymmetric banana hulls & boomless pin-top main) it obviously predates the Wave and I doubt they still make them. In the other thread Mary suggested the Wave too, but there aren't any around here (that fit my budget).
My idea (now) is to be able to single hand mostly (80%) and take along either one other adult for fun (but no real need for speed) or two children.
When Single handing, I'd like a fair dose of performance (considering the relatively small boat of course) and when sailing with company I only care that it doesn't dig in to the point of submerging the tramps continually...
Car topping looks like the ideal way for me to be able to go sailing anywhere I can park the car near the water, which means there are some small lakes nearer by. This makes it feasible to take the boat out regularly for an evening of solo sailing.
