Hi,
I've had my Hobie FX-1 for two seasons now. It's a great boat both single and double-handed (much better than the Hobie 17 sport in that regard). It is definitely much easier and lighter on the land than any boat I've owned previously (Hobie 16, Nacra 5.7, Nacra 5.5SL). I've attached the weight breakdown as I've determined using bathroom scales: (Sorry, I don't have the spinnaker for those numbers).

In Summary:
Full-up uni = 313 lbs (at least that's what mny boat weighed using bathroom scales)
Jib Kit = 8 lbs additional

regards,

Steve Bellavia

P.S. - I also agree with wouter (yes, it's true) on a previous post ("Do you really want/need a jib") where he stated the FX sails very well solo with the jib - I usually sail it this way myself - glad I got the jib kit.
