Not sure if Mike is trying to be sarcastic about the Hobie 16; if not, you beat me to it.

If so, I'll be the first to say that the Hobie 16 is the perfect boat. Big enough to be fast, small enough to be nimble, simple enough to teach new crew quickly, yet HARD to sail fast within its super-competitive fleets, which makes it great for racing.

I also like the Hobie Wave, but there is a LOT that I miss about the Hobie 16.
