think they've recorded 16knots on 1, that's pretty quick for 14feet]
also think you'll find the handicap rating it's got, provisional, is faster than a hobie14
certainly the newer 14 foot cats would perform better than a hobie14 but how many of them seem to sail happily with 1, 2 or 3 on board and have 2 part carbon masts that are a breeze for even kids to put up?
