Disclaimer; I've never done the Tybee and won't (I'm past the age to take that abuse for multiple days). However, I do remember the famed Worrell 1000, twice as long, was run with Hobie 16s early on. Were those sailors supermen or have we become wimpy over the years?


They swapped out a guy, so the teams were 3 men and there is a little bit of speed difference and energy output between a hobie 16 and a nacra 20, to say the least.

If a man is to be obsessed by something.... I suppose a boat is as good as anything... perhaps a bit better than most.
