Great report Bob! Is the boat you tested going to stay in the Panhandle, or is it going elsewhere?



I was wondering in your trial if you happened to capsize the boat; because I'm curious to know whether the boat is as difficult to right as the I17R.



I can right mine by really getting out on the daggerboards, but I'm afraid one of these times I'll have a daggerboard break.



Additionaly, I was wondering if you had experimented with any of the "righting poles" that are on the market?



Thanks for your time posting your feedback on the FX-1. It looks like a smart entry for Hobie into the Uni market.



I haven't looked into the DPN's on the boat, but I would think it should race pretty close to head-to-head with the I17R.
