Hmmmm,I've got the popcorn, and a drink, feet propped up on the ottoman, this could be an interesting show.

Synopsis:

Hobie - great kick around boat easy to rig fun to sail. Speed is relative.
Nacra - faster depending on ability, still, speed is relative to what you might be used to.

Of course the die hards here will give you all kinds of speed equations, planing or not, traveling to races (I know you don't race but they won't hear of it) and eventually someone will try to convert you to the dark side... F16!!!!

I say you'll have fun with either one. If you think your wife will be more comfortable on the Wave then go for it. You'll get more time on the water. If she doesn't like it... its just a yard ornament. Make your wife happy you can always move up.

Popcorn is done, on with the show!!! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
