Hobie 14 (presumably, I was only 12 back in 1982, in NZ... ) was the first sailing boat I ever sailed on. I remember my dad kept complaining about the awful tacking, but I was hooked from that moment on.
Later I learned to sail properly on a Bruynzeel "Valk", at around age 25.
First boat I ever bought was a Foacon Efsix (
www.efsix.nl) type keel boat.
